On November 27, at least twelve United Airlines workers say a UFO hovering over the United terminal at O?Hare International Airport for several minutes at around 4:30 in the afternoon. It hovered low, then quickly bolted into some clouds.

In the January 1st edition of the Chicago Tribune, Jon Hilkevitch quotes a United mechanic as saying, “?I don’t understand why aliens would hover over a busy airport, but I know that what I saw and what a lot of other people saw stood out very clearly, and it definitely was not an [Earth] aircraft.”

He also quotes FAA spokeswoman Elizabeth Isham Cory, who called it “a weather phenomenon.”

The French space agency, the National Space Studies Center (CNES), plans to put its part of its archive of around 6,000 UFO sightings online in late January or mid-February. France has been collecting these for around 30 years. Since many of these are different reports of the same sightings, only about 1,600 actual reports will be posted.

Yahoo news quotes CNES director Jacques Arnould as saying, “Often they are made to the Gendarmerie [police], which provides an official witness statement?and some come from airline pilots.” To access the CNES website, click here.

New research shows that movie theaters could increase their profits if they charged different prices for different movies. But this would involve movie studios knowing what customers will like, and since there are plenty of surprise hits, this is not an exact science, by any means.

Right now, consumers pay the same price for blockbusters as they do for flops. But many studios feel that their flops would be liked by a wider audience if they could only get people into the theater to watch them. Maybe lower ticket prices would lure them into the theater and start up good word-of-mouth, which is much more powerful than advertising or publicity, when it comes to creating a hit.
