Red meteor like object streaking, stopping completely, looking like a satellite, then extinguishing altogether.
I observed a red object with a tail that traveled very quickly across sky. It really looked like a red meteor! I expected, that as a meteor, it would quickly burn out. However, it then stopped and stayed in one place, still red. Meanwhile the tail had vanished, and looked like a satellite. Then it went out altogether. Could it have been a satellite burning up? Then why would it maintain it's red bright color, with no tail, then extinguish?
I expect that many others also saw it, as it's a pleasant night and many folks might head out for a stroll.
