Fireball over San Antonio

My wife and I were sitting on our front porch facing north. We were observing the thunderstorm approaching us. My wife was taking pictures of the dark clouds when we heard a plane flying low. We were looking at the plane flying over the houses. As it was flying in one direction, we noticed a light come out of the clouds in front of the plane. As the plane veered to the left, we kept watching the light come closer towards us. As it flew over our house, it looked like a fireball with a red haze behind it. That is when my wife took pictures of it in the sky. We were able to take three pictures of it. As it passed our house it disappeared in the clouds.
