Gamma ray burst- maybe not, but if it was a reflection from a geostationary satellite, wouldn't that happen on a regular basis from the same position? . Being so bright,pinpoint and stationary I don't think any reflection would have come from an orbiting satellite as it would have moved across the field of view.
I'm still trying to fathom it also.

I was too perplexed to even duck.

If a micro meteor was coming straight at me and not moving off course, how many million to one chances of that happening are? I think I'll go and buy a few lottery tickets.
