Well, I guess it probably died a while ago I was walking outside, and saw a stat get super bright for a few seconds. The. It started getting so dim I could barely see it, until I couldnt see it Well, I think. If its the one I think it is, its really dim at this point

And then, almost immediately after, I saw a shooting star Thats all

Yeah. Tbh, Im not even sure if there is any place around where I live that would be a decent spot to see it. I would probably end up having to travel kind of far. Which sucks I would love to watch it. Space is cool

From the way you wrote this, I can only assume that, for a moment, you saw beyond the veil of reality and realized that we're all actually characters living in someone's roleplaying game.

When stars go supernova (which isn't the only way they die, but is the only way that you'd see one get briefly brighter before disappearing altogether), the "flash" lasts for a few months from our perspective, in the form of the star getting brighter and holding that extra brightness before fading out relatively gradually. If it only lasted a couple seconds, it was most likely a meteor, especially given last night's meteor shower.

Weird. I could see that for the ding star. But then, why didnt it move? It was definitely sitting in the same spot for a good amount of time

Oh. Like it was kind of heading toward in a more head on fashion, then burned up which is why it got bright and disappeared?

Precisely. It's the same thing you see when they move sideways, only toward you, so you don't see the tail. While space is obviously 3-dimensional, the sky we see is effectively a 2D image from the extremely limited perspective we have. That means we generally aren't going to be able to see motion in the Z axis (treating the sky as the XY plane) and any object travelling entirely along that axis will appear stationary. Theoretically, with the proper instruments, one could identify that Z-axis motion, but with the naked eye and the reality that these shooting stars can appear anywhere in the sky without warning, you aren't going to detect it.
