I agree, W' , do you think it would be fruitful to shoot them a question or two about it's origin?

I was thinking the same thing. I am going to email them and see if I can get any info. The odd thing is they posted this but there are no comments from them about it.

Watcher777-

Ever have any luck with this?

No-I noticed my email had not been read yet so I sent him another one. It does not look like there have been any updates to the original information they posted either.

I haven't found any genuine images of this incident and would like to know if anyone can post it here...???
It's quite hard to search all of 98 pages here for pics...

I wish there was a forum option where you could have all topics to have one unlimited long page that way searching would be a lot easier!

I know it would take a while to load though.

This is the responce I got from William Puckett at ufosnw. Looks pretty interesting.

Brenda:
That is an official tower log that I obtained from the FAA through my FOIA (Freedom of Information Act Request). I also obtained voice tapes of aircraft (United Flight 446) that allegedly saw the object. The voice tapes did not reveal that the United Flight reported the object to flight control. (The Tower logs reveal that a United employee reported the object to the FAA.) Of course the FAA originally denied that any such report was received.

I also obtained radar data in the same FOIA request. So far I have not found any radar returns close to where the object was sighted (above gate C17). I will be posting the results of my analysis on my web site in the next few days.

Whenever I receive FOIA information from the government I post as soon as possible. The public needs to know what is going on.

I am a meteorologist and I did an analysis of the cloud deck through which the object allegedly "punched a hole." I obtained satellite data of cloud top temperatures (at considerable expensive) and found that the cloud layer was over 7,000 feet thick. My original estimate was about 2,000 feet (without the satellite data). I don't know of any process that would break a hole in a cloud deck as quickly as this object apparently did.

I am happy to hear that you like my web site.

Hey man, go to the very first page at the top! Springer had done a great job of compressing all the important info at the start of the thread. Pics and all!

Very nice work he has done, but I wish he would state the source of his information when he posts it.

I must say, the tower log looked quite authentic, with verifiable events, signatures and such, so it's good to hear that is has actual provenance. Just one piece of the puzzle, but a solid piece.

"company" means an aircraft from the same company...IOW, the united flight was sent around due to another united aircraft on the runway. i'll translate the rest of the log for yall when i get a chance.

Thanks watcher for following up. Least we know the data is what the officials say is was or what they want us to know.

Ascending 7000+ feet in a couple of seconds or less. wow.

okay, before i translate the tower log (which appears to me to be an actual log), let me respond to watcher's post. keep in mind that i havent kept up with this thread since around page 40, so if i repeat something please forgive me:

watcher...i highly doubt that your contact will find anything from the radar data. the reason being that there is what is called a "cone of silence" directly over the radar site as the radar cannot tilt all the way up. from everything i have read, the object would have been in the cone of silence.

now for the log in question:

0600 the tower supervisor or controller in charge signs on to position and carries over problems that had not been resolved the night before.

1147 runway open

1149 changed the primary operation from runway 32 left to the newly opened 9 right.

1150 taxi-into-position-and-hold waiver in effect. tiph is a procedure where by aircraft are allowed to sit on the runway and wait for the official take-off clearance. it was taken away about two years ago because of too many errors, but certain busy airports now have a waiver for it.

1158 all runways open, using both 9 left and 9 right to accomodate more operations.

1202 new supervisor signs on.

1255 many aircraft have been going around due to bad visibility. ceiling is now below minimums for approaches to 9 right.

1230 looks like they forgot to log that they were also below minimus to use the tiph procedures, so they backlogged it to the correct time.

1302 they turned the airport around to us runways 27 left and right...probably due to a change in the wind direction.

1311 the glideslope for runway 14 left is out to maintenance.

1412 united 732 reports possibly being clipped by another aircraft. quality assurance is notified (for possible investigation).

1430 terminal doppler radar is out of service....this is a weather radar. the tower is still using the low level wind shear alert system.

1450 they are setting up for category 2 and 3 operations, which, to make a long story short, has to do with the size of the aircraft allowed to use that runway.

1513 approval received for cat 2 and 3 operations.

1547 runway 14 left precision approach path indicator out of service.

1706 lost approval for cat 2 and 3 operations.

1743 checking all the clocks to ensure that they are all on the same time.

1837 runway 14 left papi returned to service.

1844 new supervisor logs in.

1848 eagle flight 933 aborted his take-off due to a warning light in the cockpit.

1855 changed the configuration of the airport....i have no idea what plan weird means....trip is a tracking radar....i believe it's used for tracking vehicles and planes on the ground. field is IFR.

1900 runway 14 left glideslope returned to service.

1921 airfield is VFR, tracking radar returned to service.

1942 doppler radar returned to service.

2245 pretty straight forward. they got a call from united reference the UFO, and advised them that it was not seen from the tower.

2303 the QAR previously mentioned in this thread is ended. basically they review everything to insure that safety was not compromised....which is contrary to the faa's initial response of "what UFO?" according to the log, they would have to have known about it due to there own all be it short investigation.

0148 the tiph waiver is back in effect.

2340 united 562 was sent around due to another united aircraft still on the runway...IOW, somebody screwed up.

0049 another configuaration change.

0422 partial closure of the airfield....probably slowing down for the night.

0430 new supervisor signs in.

0440 again, setting up for cat 2 and 3 operations

0447 approval for the operations

0559 close of business.


hope that helps you guys understand a little better.

I want to thank "Watcher" for bringing this to us and let you all know I emailed Mr. Puckett with an open invitation to collaborate on keeping up with this deal.

Also, I'd like to thank "snafu" for translating for us and am willing to offer 50,000 ATS points to him for completing the job.

Springer...

Omg...Maybe I should translate Critique of pure Reason from Kant; but i do not know whatta hell these points are doing..
What I do know is that O'hare sighting is something very very important; and I have sense that it has a connection with the global warming.

snafu7700-

Thanks for jumpin' in, with the translation.

Can I ask, are you a pilot or controller?

Do you know anyone who might translate 'plan weird' ?

Ha, ha.

Snafu'
I throw in a WATS, for a brief description in layman's terms of what
happened that day.( according to the log, of course)

Especially, your thoughts on the 'clipping' incident, runway changes etc., and anything else , that seems unusual, from a normal days log.

Also , would there be anything in the log,
that would point to the traffic being put in a holding pattern,
for the supposed 10 minutes, or so, that Eyewitness estimated?

Thanks

Snafu

From your take on the log, does it mean that planes were being landed from the east onto the 27 runways? Which direction would the takeoffs be? East to West also?

Great work.

thanks for coming back and doing the translation Snafu. you the man

so, its good to see that there intitial "we didnt know a thing" was a lie. im sure thatll be a feature of the Disovery show.

Heh thanks bud....that was my first post on here, i'm only sorry it couldnt have been more constructive but you lot appear to have done some great work on this subject already.

Sorry, no real reason for this post either (other than to acknowledge the quotee's post) and just to say that ATS is a great site. I'm following this particular story with great interest, and knowing that ATS does not accept crackpots (as was just proven to me in another thread) I feel confident that i'm among a majority of good open minded people here with no agenda's.......Keep up the great work people.

(future posts will actually have a point - sorry about this, just felt it was rude not to acknowledge)
