I saw an orange orb moving through the sky. It seem like it was on fire. It was 1 main orb and 3 small one perfectly spaced blow it

I was driving due east my I looked up at the moon to admire it and saw an orange orb hovering/ flying under it. It’s was flying south west direction. It’s looked like it was on fire, 1 main orb and 3 perfectly spaced slightly smaller orbs directly underneath. It was floating southwest slowly for 30 seconds idk if it was horizontal because of my angle but it ended up higher in the sky because it was moving slightly towards me but more south, which is why it’s above the moon in the picture. Then it changed color into a blue and quick white and moved faster but not super fast, kinda like went warp speed but not very far, as it broke up into more pieces but only a small distance. It became a single orb not any color after that and went back to an idle speed . I lost track of it after that since I was driving.
