Well nobody else had an explanation so - well done. I think you were pretty lucky too. Fair bit of WoW factor IMO.

For interest, it sounds like this was a naked eye observation, right? If so, it's got me wondering how it'd go from B3 skies near where I live south west of Perth, using 10x50 binos & having my scope at the ready. Maybe I'll keep an eye on Spacex launch schedules.
