You probably saw a meteor that was coming at you so it appeared not to be moving.
Here in Nebraska there was a meteor that made quite a splash last night per the news today.
During the big Leonid shower of 15+/- years ago, I saw several of those, and it is a bit freaky at first, (Are my eyes playing tricks, etc?) until you realize what it is.
Lt. Hunkie: Captain! Captain! All the stars have gone out!
Capt KWIRK: No, you fool! You've leaned on the button! Turn the viewer back on!
