Glowing fireball goes over my house

On September 23rd at 21:24 I went in the backyard to smoke a cigarette. As I sat in a chair, in my peripheral vision I saw an unusual glow coming from southwest over my house. It was like a ball of fire that resembled the sun. It moved and a constant speed northeast directly over my yard. At one point it zigzagged a bit and seemed to deform a bit but then continued in its original path. I scrambled to grab my phone and was able to get two quick pictures of it. Later I realized I should have taken a video. Pictures are on my phone though.
