rocket like object appeared in night sky and then red and white light was emitted around the object in a slim parabola shape

I was walking my doc and talking in my phone on 11/5 in the evening- no overcast. Stars were visible. Up in the sky and object appeared with red and white light around at and then I could see a rocket like shape with white and red light around the object. The red and white light around it was formed in the direction it was traveling. The light was more like Led light - it didnt look like fire because I thought at first it was a huge firework. The shape was too distinct and the way the light formed around the object was not like a firework. I thought maybe it was a comwt or ahooting star or meteor but it didnt have a typical trail or tail. The object traveled horizontally and then disappeared. I was unable to follow it in the sky because it disappeared in the direction it was traveling. I looked all over the internet to see if I could find images that look similar to what I saw. I dont know what it was that I saw. I was on the phone and my friend heard me gasp and I described it to her. It was brief - only 5 seconds if that. I uploaded a silly sketch- I am not a professional.
