On 7 November 2006, roughly a dozen United Airlines employees at Chicago O'Hare International Airport reported a silent, gray, disc-shaped object hovering over Gate C17, which then reportedly shot upward, punching a hole in the cloud layer. The FAA, which had no radar return, attributed it to a weather phenomenon (a hole-punch cloud) and did not investigate. The case is documented via FOIA records and is one of the better-known modern airport sightings, though officially explained and disputed.
