Red lights, southland Chicago

I was also a witness to the South Chicago "red lights in sky" event. What I am not reading or hearing is HOW they disappeared. We (me and two other friends) watched them for almost a good half hour, they really never seemed to move, but yet, they WERE moving. We witnessed them coming out of the west and moving due east towards lake michigan. Around 1:30am cst, they flickered violently and just VANISHED one after the other only a few seconds apart from one another.

However, i must mention, about 20 minutes prior to witnessing this event I witnessed a very low shooting star directly overhead (my two friends didn't see this). I don't know if it was related or if it was just a coincidence. I was in the Air Force and i know the closest base is in Peoria , Il, i know this wasn't a military experiment!
