JBird, yes, sorry, less than the usual number of planes during the last minutes of the sighting.
In the parking lot, when first seeing it people made comments, but we were mostly all rather dumbstruck after the first few moments of watching,
because for a number of us it wasn't a superquick glimpse, it was an ongoing and static sighting, with a realness to it that basically just
shortcircuited your speech center. After it swept up and off, no one near me even said anything like "What was that??" It was difficult to find
words. My friend and I reparked (I'd parked a bit far from the terminal entrance to continue watching the object) and each recounted to the other
exactly what we'd just seen... I think it must have been sort of our reality test. We've discussed it every single day since then. My friend on
the incoming plane said he would nose about a bit to find out more if possible, but he's not a United pilot, nor is he based in Chicago, so I'm not
sure how much he'll reasonably be able to learn.
