A bright light seemed to be descending with a plume constantly around it and then a large halo plume emitted before heading eastward.

We saw a (1) bright slow pulsing northern like star with a constant plume or atmospheric vapor surrounding the object, descending downward as we drove westward on KS-96 at 7:30 - 7:35p on October 13th, 2023. Right before it took off it emitted a large halo plume that appeared to be cloud height. This is currently being reported as a spaceX launch, but if that’s true, the object didn’t appear to be more then a couple thousand feet in the air. The additional spotting(s) in Oklahoma and Texas were reported later than 7:30p (closer to 8pm there) so that has me wondering if we all were seeing the same thing at the same time, or was this same aircraft being spotted later since we saw it dart off to the east? The light was a warmish white color and pulsated brighter at times, but the plume surrounding the light gave it a very “God-like” radiance.
