Red Triangle UFO Spotted Near O’Hare Airport in Chicago, Illinois

If you've traveled through O'Hare, you know that one of the benefits is that there are plenty of huge windows in the terminals. Very recently one visitor saw something odd zoom by one of those windows. It was a huge red triangle-shaped object.

There are several interesting aspects about the newest Illinois report to the National UFO Reporting Agency website. First, the sighting happened at 9:55am Chicago time on February 11, 2025. It was reported almost immediately (16 minutes later) to the NUFORC site. They were in terminal 3 at O'Hare when this encounter happened.

The report says the object was large and they saw it at an approximately 45 degree angle. Here is a snippet of their exact eyewitness testimony about what they saw:

"A red craft moving at a smooth yet fast speed flew across the terminal until I couldn’t see it anymore. It went in a straight line but glided similarly to a bird. Triangular and red. Fast. Smooth way of flying."

If I were a skeptic (and I very much am), I would wonder how there are not more reports of this object since terminal 3 at O'Hare is always screaming busy. I would also wonder why the air traffic controllers wouldn't report any unusual object especially near such a busy airport like O'Hare.

All that being said, that doesn't mean I would just dismiss this report as a figment of this traveler's imagination. I've traveled through O'Hare myself and just about everyone had their face buried in their device, so no other eyewitnesses is actually believable. It's also possible the powers that be are suppressing air traffic controller reports so we don't all freak out.

Since this happened just a few days ago, I will keep my eyes on the NUFORC site to see if any corroborating reports are submitted.
