The bright flash of light that caught my attention was similar to a camera flash followed by the "shooting star".

Saw a flash of light in the sky that caught my attention. Then, saw what appeared to me like a shooting star, but much brighter than I had ever seen. It also left a breif smoke trail. I was completely in awe.
