In reasonable weather conditions and during daylight there would be nothing unusual in what you saw. Under certain condtiions an aircraft may be "cleared to land" with the one ahead still on the runway - the controller anticipating that #1 would either be clear of the runway, or a certain distance down the runway such that it was perfectly safe for the next one to touchdown.
