I was sitting on my steps watching a fireworks show that started 3 minutes before I see a red orb coming towards me.

I was watching a fireworks show when I saw a red orb coming towards my direction. I was stunned because the same thing happened to me eight years ago. That time I was with someone and saw 6 red orbs over roughly two hours. As tonights orb came towards me a Southwest jet was coming from the southwest towards Midway airport. I'm located about 6 miles southwest of the airport. At one point the jet was under the orb. I would take the elevation of a jet six miles before landing, and double it. That would be the elevation of the orb I saw tonight.
