Weird alarm issue

Today I had a weird thing happen with the alarm on my 2019 F350 Lariat.

Hope it's not an electrical gremlin starting to get active..

Went to get in the truck and put my hand on the door with the remote in my pocket as usual and doors unlocked..

When I opened the door the alarm stated going off.. Flashing lights and horn beeping...

I kept hitting the button to disarm, but it was useless.. I even went in the house and tried the other remote.. Nothing

Had to wait for it to time out and then I could disarm and get in..

Anyone else have this issue??

Why didn't the unlock button stop the alarm and reset it??

Did the panic button accidentally and coincidentally get smashed in your pocket?

Even if it was pushed , shouldn't it have been able to be disarmed with the fob ?

Happened to me more than once..

.Most Likely ( as in my case) I pushed the red alarm button unaware I had set off alarm ..tried using the unlock to no avail..you have to turn off the Red Alarm on your key FOB.

.The Red Button is not depressed as my automobile buttons are..and on my car the alarm button is slightly lower in position and recessed
