I’m in Dallas area, about twenty minutes or so ago, to the left of the moon, probably northeast, crossing from upper left to lower right. The whole thing was about a second or two, extremely bright red, like a spark, and then there was a moment in the middle where it felt like it exploded. Then it disappeared. I thought it was like an airplane on fire, did anyone also see it? 😭 Was it a meteor or something?
