Hard to say what it was as software can randomly glitch. But I wouldn’t be worried about it. Instead, I would perform a Forced Restart which will delete any corrupt software files and re-index the file system, thus rectifying the issue if this is software-related. Be sure to perform it quickly and ignore the Power Off Slider that appears midway.
