National Public Radio Reports Credible UFO Sighting

National Public Radio's All Things Considered January 1st broadcast reported on a very credible UFO sighting at Chicago's O'Hare Airport:

In November, a gray, metallic, saucer-like object was spotted hovering above Chicago's O'Hare International Airport. As many as 12 United Airlines employees spotted the object and filed reports with United [Airlines].

In the broadcast, Chicago Tribune reporter Jon Hilkevtich reports that the witnesses are all very credible, including senior UA managers and flight crews.

A flying saucerlike object hovered low over O'Hare International Airport for several minutes before bolting through thick clouds with such intense energy that it left an eerie hole in overcast skies, said some United Airlines employees who observed the phenomenon.

Newsweek also reported on the sighting:

The Federal Aviation Administration says it must have been a weird weather phenomenon, and United Airlines denies any knowledge of the case. But though it has been two months since what appeared to be an unidentified flying object (UFO) was spotted over Chicago's O'Hare International Airport, the incident is still raising questions about what exactly was seen and whether the authorities are trying to downplay it.

YouTube has an interview with a pilot who was one of the witnesses. The National UFO Reporting Center has the latest info on the sighting. Other reports
