If a bunch of people saw the supposed UFO it would go toward proving there wasn't a mass Hypnosis and different people with divergent ideas all witnessed the same event. But what you're saying is a contrivance of events could have happened whereupon had this been reported the US GOVT might have denied the IAD-PEK route to UAL had it been widely disseminated?? What about civiliand in the surrounding communities?? Elk Grove Shaumburg and such?? Somebody besides some UAL people saw it when American is right there as well??. I don't dispute you because I don't know anything about it BUT as big the hell as ORD is only United folks witnessed this?? I mean Really?!?

My contact was not with someone from the ground at ORD. I have no information about other airlines' employees, or what they might have seen, or if any goverment contact/pressure has transpired with people/airlines outside of UAUA. He only knows specific details of what was told to certain management employees at

Regarding the pressure over the China route, it was key that there be no official investigation of the incident. That's apparently a big distinction, and a line in the sand was drawn over the route, with the GS sweetener thrown in.

My take is through an official investigation, people are questioned, facts are compiled and conclusions are drawn, and it's put on paper by a legitimate company. Having details leaked by nameless sources is inconsequential. Easily attributed to weather, or rainbows, or a swamp gas. Whatever the usual explanations are.

I haven't posted here but looking over the post concerning the UFO report I just had to chime in. Keep in mind that the government will do what it can to hold down the reporting of any activity of this nature for the benefit of all people as they have shown in the past. From what I've heard about this would be sighting is there were 12 pilots and several other people that did see it and that it looked like was a cigar or saucer depending where your point of view was. The odd thing about it ws that when it took off from its spot over airfield it seperated the clouds and left a hole. I found that interesting. One never knows, maybe the government is working on something or maybe there are other life visiting us. To dismiss it, is naive..., after all it is a big universe and very much unknown. Besides what the government has experimented on in the past, leads one to wonder if they are involved. Either way I don't look at it as a big deal since there is nothing anyone can do about it anyway..., but it is interesting.

"To fly 7 million light years to O'Hare and then have to turn around and go home because your gate was occupied is simply unacceptable," said O'Hare controller and union official Craig Burzych.

maybe they forgot there wallet and couldn't pay the fee.

Or perhaps they were amazed at the ineptitudes of Customs and Immigration and just said "Fu@##$ it"..

United wins the China route.

All thanks to little green men.
