This was definitely a rare occurrence and I’m still in shock I got to see it.

Remarks
There were 2 to 3 bursts, it was the brightest thing I’ve ever seen that it caught my peripheral vision before I looked. It was as bright as a lightning and mainly had white flares. It was a phenomenon in my books and I’ve seen regular meteor showers before.
