Helicopter, Plane, and Unknown Cigar-Shaped Object Seen over Illinois

Taking an afternoon walk with my children, heading west on Handley, and saw a "black balloon" in the sky. The time was approximately 2:40 PM CST.
This "balloon figure" was egg-oval shaped at times, and then also looked circular. At first, I thought it was a balloon (although it had not strings attached from it), but then its shape changed and it kept going higher and higher into the sky (which was clear, except for some light, wispy cirrus clouds).
I couldn't believe a balloon could go so high.
So, I was trying to point it out to my almost 3-year-old daughter, but she didn't see it. My son is 7 1/2 months and was sleeping.
The object's path was from south to north. A helicopter started coming closer to the object, and the object stopped and went straight down through some clouds, so it was almost in line with the helicopter.
The helicopter continued on its path, and then about 30 seconds later a large airplane crisscrossed the helicopter's path.
By the time the airplane came to where the black object and helicopter had been, I saw the black object start to go north and just disappear.
I was calm, but hot (was 90+ degrees and humid), before the sighting. I am always looking in the sky, especially after my 2 previous UFO sightings, which have all happened during the daylight.
This object was completely different than my other 2 sightings. After the object disappeared, I was starting "seeing black spots that looked just like the object" everywhere I looked.
I rubbed my eyes and saw a few more, then it stopped. I was not dehydrated, I had just finished drinking an entire bottle of water.
