Bright orange glow in the South West sky near Fort Worth Texas

I was outside about to walk towards Wal-Mart near a hardware store and noticed a bright orange glow in the South West sky.

I’m from central California and use to forest fires and it looked like fire glowing in and out. However there are no mountains near by and that night was overcast. I stood there in the dark field looking at it from 7:55pm to 8pm.

I went back home and asked my girlfriend to take a look at this strange orange glow in the sky. She came out and at that time it started to pulsated white and orange very fast. She went inside.

I began walking very slow to store and same time looking at orange glow. I went inside and noticed a friend of mine inside. I asked him about glow and if it was normal in these neck of woods (knowing that a city near here called Eastland has towers of fire due to gas).

He stated it could be from neon sign near by. I told him it could not be and it was lighting the whole south west sky.

We went outside together to recheck SW Sky. I pointed out where it was still glowing faintly and he was VERY SHOCKED.

By the time I got home the orange glow faded out behind the clouds.

I searched the internet for any details but none was found.
