Never seen a bright flash of light like that with other "falling stars" that I've witnessed over the years.

Remarks
I was facing in the opposite direction of the meteor, and a bright flash in the sky behind me prompted me to turn around and see the meteor briefly before it disappeared. I could see the trail for at least 10 seconds after the flash.
