The flash was extremely bright yet short but there was like a firework like trail in the sky before it flashed. It also lead to my eyes burning for a few minutes because it was so bright. It was extremely unexpected on how bright it was, the sky actually flashed white everywhere as in the entire sky.

It looked like some kind of giant firework trail left behind in the sky and then a huge flash for a second which was blinding.
