Wikipedia says that happened in November 2006.
Going out on a limb here, but I am betting that you and your friend weren't hanging out on the balcony at 3AM in winter in Chicago. Can we assume it was the following spring or summer?
Because that's exactly when Christopher Nolan spent almost 4 months filming the Dark Knight in downtown Chicago. I was working downtown at the time. A large part of the loop was the set. During the day all the props and equipment were stored on the sidewalks and street parking areas. Late at night they set it all up, did their filming, and then put it all away again. And yeah, they used black helicopters zooming around all over the place as camera platforms. Downtown isn't that big, a helicopter can easily cross it in a matter of seconds.
That's what you saw.
- jazzyjackson 5y ago? November is not the dead of winter, there can still be warm days in the 50s and 60s. And anyway sometimes it's nice to be on a balcony even in the cold. I witnessed a meteor/fireball on my Chicago balcony around 2009 or 2010, I remember thinking it must have been some kind of aircraft breaking up over the city, I went to Twitter thinking I would find out what happened but it wasn't til the next day I heard it was a meteor that ended up over Wisconsin. I think it was April 2010: https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/ct-xpm-2010-04-15-ct-met-meteor-sighting-20100415-story.html https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/ct-xpm-2010-04-15-ct-met...
