O'Hare International Airport Sighting

United Airlines employees and pilots at Chicago's O'Hare International Airport observed a dark grey, disc-shaped object hovering silently over Gate C17. The object reportedly shot upward through the overcast cloud layer, leaving a visible hole in the clouds. At least 12 United employees reported the sighting. The FAA initially denied receiving reports, then acknowledged an employee had called it in. The FAA declined to investigate, attributing the sighting to a 'weather phenomenon.' The case was investigated by the National Aviation Reporting Center on Anomalous Phenomena (NARCAP) and remains one of the most well-documented airport UAP incidents.
