Jon Hilkevitch on his Chicago O'Hare UFO story

[ecouriercouk]

Corr Blimey.. I thought my office was a mess. This office makes my office look as clean as an Intel semi conductor lab.

the worst audio I ever hears. mono, one sided,  feeble, windy.

[uapreddit]

The audio makes this almost unwatchable! For the love of god, please do this interview again...without breathing into the mic (or was the mic cover nut-scented and being attacked by a squirrel?!).

[bluestarwheel]

@uapreddit Yes ma'm - right away!

[cptcosmo]

It sounds like the mic is inside sock.  I've heard better audio from drive-thru order boards.

[333Paradigm333]

Stop blowing on the mic! LOL.

no it was real i was there when it happen but what i can tell yall this is they will keep lieing to the public and the u.s because they don't want ppl going crazy saying OMG UFO's but you believen god right there is no proof that he died on cross or even if he was real all you could believe is what ppl tell you about god but i believe he's real look it the bermuda now UFO'S there is things in this world ppl cant explain but quick to say somthing about its up to you what you believe in

when a pilot reports a UFO, its the same as him announcing his own resignation as they effectively get grounded or fired.

[pixelator30]

No airline today can afford to support such an incident, especially when there is no photographic evidence. If United Airlines were to publicly announce that its employees saw an UFO, there would be many skeptics in the general public. The public image of United Airlines would surely suffer as a result -- it may be perceived as a wacko airline. Endorsing such an incident would have been very risky for UA from a business point of view -- which is enough of a reason for them to kill the story.

@pixelator30 Actually There Was Photographic Evidence The Pilot that Opened The Cockpit Window Took Aye Picture with a digital camera Although Never Released To the Public My Personal Belief Is Sum Sort Of Government Officials Confiscated The Pictures In Order Not 2 Stir Up any Public Panic I got That Information From Watching The Original Interview He Had During The Time This Story Was Released!!!

[johnsmdm]

@macfle01 ...keep your nose out of the business sir....

[macfle01]

@johnsmdm WAT EVER DUDE JUST FACE IT YOUR WRONG EPIC FAIL.......#DENIAL

[Ciaobella006]

Jon is smart! I trust him. : )

[GregWn]

First thing the reporter should have asked is for photgraphic evidence...when every other person has a camera phone these days,nobody took a pic despite its presence for 15 minutes?!

[mykalmint400]

SPEAK UP.

[lllwindrunner]

Regarding the airlines: The "JANAP 146" contract, was petitioned against by more than 500 U.S. commercial airline pilots in the 1950's and threatened pilots not to speak of their UFO sightings or they would be fined and/or face imprisonment. Any sensible person can research enough to understand that the O'hare UFO was certainly not about the weather or a military project. Radar reports, testimony from military pilots and documents from Gov. officials factor into the world wide UFO picture.

i think the goverment whiped the audio of the video i swear

[GregWn]

@TheJainSoul audio of what video?

[Nihilgeist]

Nice to see an update on this story after a couple of years. It's been well documented (pilot interviews/off the record) that pilots/crew are highly advised NOT to report such eyewitness accounts, at least when flying, to FAA/Air Traffic Control, etc. unless they want negative repercussions involving employment. Therefore it's not surprising United wouldn't acknowledge such reports since their policies are against it.

[donotputinmouth]

Nice interview. Intelligent and unbiased. 

[yowzephyr]

This is a compelling interview! Share it with your family, friends, and associates.
