O'Hare Airport UFO, 2006​

On the afternoon of November 7, 2006, a UFO was spotted at Chicago’s O'Hare Airport in Illinois, USA.

The UFO sighting at O’Hare Airport in Chicago, IL, is a recent reminder that mass UFO sightings still occur, and that in America, at least, witnesses and investigators still get stonewalled by all authorities in their search for explanations. The case also gives us reason to believe that there would be many more cases known to the public if airlines and regulatory agencies were more transparent with the evidence.
