(United Airlines gate)
Location of 1st sighting of Chicago O'Hare UFO or UAP (Unidentified Aerial Phenomena) of November 7, 2006 (about 4:30 p.m., just before sunset) first seen by a United Airlines ramp worker who was routinely directing a United aircraft backing from the gate. Witnesses said the object appeared to be dark gray, between 6 feet and 24 feet in diameter, and just below the cloud deck, (which was about 1,900-foot high at the time.)

    I'm pretty sure that's a Boeing 757 at the gate in this view. Similar to plane near gate at the time?
