I was also using my Night Sky app on my iphone12 pro since I was aware of the SpaceX activity & solar flares I’ve been watching on spaceweather.com. I only saw satellites on the app as well as with the naked eye & rocket bodies & trajectories. I have seen meteors like this fall but never explode with flashes & so up close with a sonic boom following.
