Another O'Hare Airport UFO spotted on August 4, 2008

While waiting in the lobby at American Airlines Gate K-7 at Chicago O'Hare International Airport, my wife noticed a disc-shaped object hovering at an altitude of several hundred feet outside the terminal's large glass windows to the WSW at 7:01 pm.
