Full Description & Details

While observing the line-up of the planes scheduled to land at Midway Airport, I noted a white disc like object traveling from the south towards the north at an unusual speed. A speed faster than any machine that we have, and traveling at an altitude higher than any jet plane. This disc like glowing object came to a complete stop in mid-air...then darted out into space which seemed to close to the speed of light...leaving a trail of light behind it. I was not the only person on the lakefront that witnessed this event. In fact when this disc-like object came to a stop, then darted out into space, everyone that saw it shouted out at the same time, "Did you see that?" Keep in mind that we did not know each other nor did we know that otrhers were watching this disc-like object.One thing for sure is that we all knew that it was a UFO or flying saucer or vehicle from another planet.

Can sighting be explained as any conventional man-made or natural object?

No!!!! Nothing man-made!

Views on UFOs, before and after sighting

I had research the possibility of ET life from the lost city of Atlantis , the Egyptian pyramids, area 51, and the simple fact of the enormous size of our universe and the billions of other galaxies in it. I entertained questions like, "Could we be the only ones in all of this vast universe?" My answer kept coming back as, "No way!" Seeing that disc-like object that night confirmed to me that there is intelligent and far superior life in existence.

Other Comments

I think that it is a sad situation that the United States government, along with NASA does not reveal the existence of Alien intelligence.
