    Default Anyone have a UFO story?

    I was just looking at some UFO evidence website, and it really was just ridiculous. They had a ton of pics, but of course they were all really blurry and many of them didn't even have the UFO as the point of focus - like they were trying to be "artsy" while snapping a shot of the aliens overhead. A friend of mine swears he saw a group of UFOs when he was little, and I just laugh at him cuz the description is not very good. I think if I ever saw something so odd like that in the sky that I'd remember every single detail about it. Well...anyone have any good stories?

    When I was around 8 my brother and his friend ran into the house I was in (I was at a friend's house) and got me to come look at something with them. I came outside and over a house a few doors down we saw 2 black flying saucers. They were actually not that high up in the sky and were just hovering and spinning. They disappeared soon after though. My parents got a nice laugh out of it just like everyone else I have said that too...Oh well, I know what I saw.

    My commercial law teacher I had a few years ago, that had 2 phds, made us go around the room and say something special or unique about us. Well when it got to her she told us how she was almost abducted by aliens on the way home from school when she was in high school or something. I cant remember exactly I just remember being really surprised that she would tell people that, with the position she held at my college.

    My g/f grew up in the country, not all that far from a nuclear research facility. Teenager, driving with her boyfriend and brother late at night, isolated country road...you get the picture. She swears it was close enough to see windows and the outlines of figures standing in them looking out. She never, ever lies, btw.

    UFOs are one of many great examples of the immature imagination and logical fallaciousness of humans.

    misunderstanding of that which constitutes evidence, and misuse of evidence.

    CHICAGO (AP) - U.S. officials said it was probably just some weird weather phenomenon but a group of United Airline employees swear they saw a mysterious, saucer-shaped craft hovering over O'Hare Airport last fall.

    The workers, some of them pilots, said the object didn't have lights and hovered over an airport terminal before shooting up through the clouds, said a report in Monday's Chicago Tribune newspaper.


    The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration acknowledged a United supervisor had called the control tower at O'Hare, asking if anyone had spotted a spinning disc-shaped object. But the controllers didn't see anything and a preliminary check of radar found nothing out of the ordinary, FAA spokeswoman Elizabeth Isham Cory said.

    "Our theory on this is that it was a weather phenomenon," Cory said.

    "That night was a perfect atmospheric condition in terms of low (cloud) ceiling and a lot of airport lights. When the lights shine up into the clouds, sometimes you can see funny things."

    The FAA is not investigating, Cory said.

    United spokeswoman Megan McCarthy said company officials don't recall discussing any such incident from Nov. 7.

    At least one O'Hare controller, union official Craig Burzych, was amused by it all.

    "To fly seven million light years to O'Hare and then have to turn around and go home because your gate was occupied is simply unacceptable," he said.
