A large slow moving flaming red/yellow orb with no trails

Object flew west to east slowly flaming for 5-10 seconds. The flames were condensed,were compact with no trail. It was red yellow and white and after the flames went out it was red white round and pulsating. Slow moving and seemed to slow down and change direction. I saw the Starlink reentering earlier this year, dozens of satellites, asteroids and meteors and this had none of those characteristics.

I did get my phone out in time to catch a video of it for the last few seconds of visibility as it seemed to be listening and then turning sharply right before going out of view
