We saw a secondary flash of red on the horizon when this meteor appeared. As the meteor ascended it turned into a sky jellyfish, (that's what it looked like as it formed)it looked as if it was coming directly towards us and disappeared after about a minute. You can hear my son in the video commenting on it. He was scared of it.we assume it was another meteor.
