I watched a similar event last year in the vicinty of one of the supernovae at the time (the one that was pink - can't recall which/where). I saw a "star" flare from normal, to Venus intensity/magnitude for about 20 seconds, then back to normal.
I have since considered it a point or head-on meteorite, but still not entirely certain as I do recall seeing the "star" before and after.
Odd, but I didn't get overly worked up. Perhaps it was a γ-ray burst.
