Bright Red Orange with tail hovering

Driving along Keystone Rd in Tarpon Springs there was a bright red orange light that kept growing brighter. It was not moving and was larger than a planet. It had what appeared to be a tail that grew up bit longer as it got brighter. I watched it stay still for about 30 seconds and it started to dim real fast into a white dot and disappeared. Very odd.
