We were driving home. The flash came from the passenger side above our view. We were looking forwards and it was so bright that we both at the same time whipped our heads towards the passenger side looking up before it was even in our view. It was so fast and so bright. It lit up the entire sky for a few seconds and was something I've never experienced before.
