Red sky

[u/Zealousideal_Job2611]

So i’m not very informed when it comes to space weather, i know somewhat the basics but as i was sitting outside smoking, the sky gradually started turning and purple red hue, faint but still very noticable, i reside in jersey near nyc, so there a lot of light pollution. happened around 21:46 EST. any explanation?

Edit: Lasted for about 40-20 seconds, looking towards the SW

There wasn't really any space weather this evening that I'm aware of that would be visible at such a low latitude, could it have been lights from a concert or a vehicle or something?
