UFO Sighting Near Chicago's O'Hare Airport

A report of a widespread UFO sighting over Chicago's O'Hare Airport  hit the Internet over night.  It also has become one of the most searched for items on Google trends. However, I can not seem to find any information about it over any of the news wires.  So perhaps it is a hoax.

The most probable linkage to the sudden upswing in Internet frenzy is to a video from 2007 that leaked from  CLTV, a 24 hour news channels in Oak Brook, IL. The interview is between Jon Hilkevitch (the Chicago Tribune transportation reporter who reported the Chicago UFO story) and Jim Wagner a news anchor with CLTV.

They are speaking as if off, they are not even on live TV, and joke around a little bit during the interview, so it appears to be a hoax.  Interesting how things like this get latched onto by the public and spread around on the Internet.
