Alien Invasion foiled because the airport was full!

[Dew k. Mosi]

Whew, thank God!

It sounds like a tired joke--but a group of airline employees insist they are in earnest, and they are upset that neither their bosses nor the government will take them seriously.

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.

Was it an alien spaceship? A weather balloon lost in the airspace over the world's second-busiest airport? A top-secret military craft? Or simply a reflection from lights that played a trick on the eyes?

Officials at United professed no knowledge of the Nov. 7 event--which was reported to the airline by as many as a dozen of its own workers--when the Tribune started asking questions recently. But the Federal Aviation Administration said its air traffic control tower at O'Hare did receive a call from a United supervisor asking if controllers had spotted a mysterious elliptical-shaped craft sitting motionless over Concourse C of the United terminal.

JINKIES!

So the story was interesting until I read O'hare ... dude nothing hovers over O'hare that I can imagine having nearly crash landed there multiple times on various carriers.

The Hub to end all Hubs with a bajillion planes around and nobody else saw it ...

And no one got a picture? Damnit, we live in the digital age, I refuse to believe no one, at the very least, had a cell phone cam.

That was my first thought when I read this.

Its ok we have Tom Cruise, Will SMith, Jeff Goldblum and Sigourney Weaver.

 

[Kyalesyin]

What good is Tom Cruise gonna be?

 

[Darthphere]

What good is Tom Cruise gonna be?

He has the power of illogical plot points. And Xenu. And he can run real fast.

 

[Kyalesyin]

So, he provides the distraction while the rest of them work. Got it.

 

[Darthphere]

Well apparently if his kid miraculously survived that whole movie while **** was blowing up all around him, I think we're safe.

 

[Kyalesyin]

So, he'd make a decent human sheild?

 

[Darthphere]

Something like that.
