UAL Workers Fight UAL,
FAA Over O'Hare
UFO Sighting

Note - The following linked Chicago Tribune story relating an extremely important public air safety event is one Tribune reporter Jon Hilkevitch is to be credited with covering as legitimate news. However, before reading the story, a little background is in order...
Peter Davenport, Director of the National UFO Reporting Center, first called in early December and alerted me about this dramatic daylight sighting directly over the middle of Chicago's O'Hare International Airport. He was subsequently able to convince one of the key eyewitnesses who filed the report with the National UFO Reporting Center to appear on my program, anonymously, to tell his story.
The man did so on December 12 during Peter's regular monthly special report and spent nearly an hour eloquently and thoroughly recounting the event in great detail. That remarkable account can be heard in our program Archives.
The eyewitness described a perfect disc that he and a co-worker watched for many minutes hovering at a very low 1900 feet just below the cloud base right over one of the world's busiest airports in broad daylight. The two were ferrying a large United jetliner from one side of O'Hare to the other as they watched the UFO/craft hovering directly above one of the main terminal gates. It was clearly an amazing sight.
Regrettably, the story in the Tribune contains the usual, nauseating, put-downs, denials and dismissals by FAA staff and controllers who, of course, 'didn't see a thing'...which suggests either they are lying, were asleep on the job, or were grossly negligent. We'll choose number one. Another typical FAA coverup at work:
"No (air) controllers saw the object, and a preliminary check of radar found nothing out of the ordinary, FAA spokeswoman Elizabeth Isham Cory said."
"The FAA is not conducting a further investigation, Cory said. The theory is the sighting was caused by a 'weather phenomenon,' she said."
"The UFO report has sparked some chuckles among controllers in O'Hare tower. '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."
Most inexcusably, however, the Tribune story fails to even once mention Peter Davenport and the National UFO Reporting Center. This deliberate omission of an essential component of the entire story is deplorable for several reasons - not the least of which is that it was Peter who personally talked the eyewitness into coming forward with his sighting and presenting it on my program, and further encouraged the man to stand his ground on the O'Hare UFO incursion with his superiors.
Furthermore, it was Peter Davenport, who, on his own time, personally sought out and kindly briefed Chicago Tribune reporter Jon Hilkevitch at great length on several occasions. In other words, if it weren't for Peter Davenport, there would be no Tribune story at all.
Mr. Hilkevitch was professional in his initial approach to Peter's information about the UFO intrusion of O'Hare airspace and subsequently phoned me to inquire about the December 12 program with the eyewitness and Peter. We had a fruitful conversation and I immediately made the program available to him so he could hear the remarkable account for himself.
The published Tribune story begins with a typical, sadly obligatory, sneering, mocking headline which you will see. In all fairness to reporter Hilkevitch, newspaper story headlines/titles - and story text itself - are often rewritten by 'senior editors' - and the published version may not be reporter Hilkevitch's actual final submitted story.
The US media, and the US government for that matter, have treated the massively important subject of countless unidentified flying craft - and the entire ET issue - with official derision, abuse, obfuscation and outright silence for over 60 years. This coverup is one of the blackest marks in the history of so-called professional journalism in America and the world.
Now, on to the story itself...
