Full Description & Details

I was in downtown Chicago near the new Millenium Park. I saw what looked like a flaming airplane slowly falling to earth in the southwest. When it finally went out of sight below the trees of Grant Park, I saw a bright orange light appear about mid-way up the sky and then move rapidly across the sky in a manner similar to the first with a bright flaming tail. The event repeated once more. An associate standing nearby watched the entire thing with me and said that he thought maybe it was fireworks, but I have never seen ANY sort of fireworks like this. I would estimate that the objects were within five miles of my location to the southwest. After the third object, I noticed what appeared to be two helicopters hovering and circling in the same general area as the objects. The helicopters seemed to move normally. I've never seen anything like this before, nor have I ever seen anything that appeared UFO-like before. Frankly, I don't believe in UFOs or aliens or whatever, but this was very odd.
