I was floating in my pool looking up at the sky when I saw this. It looked like a ball of white/yellow bright light with a red orange tail that appeared out of nowhere and flashed/exploded & was gone. Not long after there seemed to be a lot of satellite activity overhead and passing by the area where I saw the fireball.

There was a flash of white and yellow light with what looked like a tail of red & orange...almost like a rocket. And then it was gone!
