UFO over O'Hare.

[pjg]

It was all over the news. What do you think?

[fett]

I think that anybody from another world that would want to come here is not as smart as we think.

Here's the report I heard on the radio last week:

People definitely saw something. Who knows what it was?

They are just checking in to see how their little "experiment" is coming along. I imagine they're pretty disappointed.

[Newc]

Depends on the experiment - if they're going for mindless slaves, there's plenty to be had.

[quakana]

Pretty sure they later stated it was a russian satellite or orbiting space craft that had re-entered the atmosphere and been blown to pieces

2 totally different stories on different days ... the people claiming to have seen this object sounded pretty credible but who knows what it was ..

O'Hare? Probably looking for their lost luggage.

[Rupe]

No way that advanced beings would choose to fly into O'hare

[JACKSONFREAK]

Well there is military activity at O'Hare. So who knows. Maybe they saw the flashing landing lights and thought we were signaling them like in close Encounters. lol

The mothership is coming...resistance is futile.
Threads like this, I always think of the movie "space balls".
A funny great movie.

[atomic charvel guy]

I've got enough to defer any enemy. You have to earn it to get into my little humble abode. I have a regular lock on the handle and a dead bolt!!!

[sevser]

It was probably military like every other UFO sighting...They have to test this stuff...and there not about to admit to Top Secret stuff.

People always jump to alien craft.

Do people ever consider that IF there were superiorly intelligent beings out there...and they had the technology to visit other planets they would be traveling using some sort of craft? I just find that absurd to thing of. It's such a 50's sci fi concept. haha

[lerxstcat]

Well, they most likely would use some sort of craft. I'm not really buying interstellar teleportation. But we would probably get visited relatively rarely since we're out on the end of a spiral arm. The action is probably closer to the center of the galaxy where star systems are closer together. We are galactic hicks!
