More Chicago UFO's

I was drawn to my window due to the sound of helicopters. They are becoming more frequent in Chicago but only justified by the Olympic bid. Crime is low and the culture is very civilized. So why the multiple copters and the amount of time they are flying ? Upon noticing the over abundance of helicopter activity I begin to look out the window of my 6th floor apartment facing west. As I observe the "ghetto birds" in action I notice what I've never noticed before; a dimond shaped light in coming due west. This light resembled the light a star emits. The only distinguishable difference between this light and a star was it's sheer size and lack of accute stationary form. It hovered left to right and was much larger than a star (or moon) and was most certainly more illuminated than a star.

What was it ? And why have I personally witnessed objects in the sky that I've never seen before at some a frequent pace (the 3rd time in 4 months I've witnessed a UFO or ARV), why were the helicopters flying for so long and in such numbers, and why was this in the vacinity of O'Hare again ? Was I the only one to see this ?
