It was probably a sporadic micro meteor coming straight at you. No stellar phenomena last a matter of seconds apart from occultations. Many years ago I thought for about 10 sec that a supernova had appeared while I was watching. But then it started to wobble. It must have been a meteor coming down my line of sight. I was too perplexed to even duck.
