Flaming stationary object over Shorewood Wisconsin

I witnessed a flaming red camp fire in the sky that burned in a stationary fashion for a few minutes. From a distance I thought it was an aircraft warning light on the top of a 10 story apartment building but the closer that I got to it I realized that it wasn't. After a few minutes of watching it the fire dissapated, flaring up a couple of times in this process lasting 1 minute or so. What was left was a blood red colored, star sized circle which was significantly smaller than when it was aflame. It proceeded to move in a controlled fashion to the north and east at a level altitude beyond my view.
