There was a star like image moving away from earth. A bright and long Orange/Red flame

This image suddenly disappeared then reappeared and burst like a firework of bright stars and I followed one of those smaller bright lights until it became too faint to see. No tail behind but a half dome shape of light appeared before it as it continued to move across the sky.
