I did see two shooting stars in the time I was taking the pictures, and one slow moving light about the same size as a star, that suddenly glowed brightly and disappeared. I'm thinking that was something burning up, probably a meteor as you say.

shooting star is the same thing as a meteor or a meteorite. Anyways, I didn't check out the high res pic, the red lights you describe say plane I guess, or some sort of atmospheric phenomenon.
