Bright flare in the sky

Good evening all

I was just setting up a celestron with sky align about 5 mins ago and when I looked up after finding alpha crux, I saw a really bright light to wards the south east. The flash was stationary and it faded too fast to slew the scope to. What would this have been? It was (I guess, in noob terms) around as bright as jupiter if not brighter.

Any hints?
