It’s those cheap Chinese made bulbs.

You probably saw a meteor that was coming at you so it appeared not to be moving.

From what you describe that suggests a meteor coming directly toward you (be thankful it burned up on the way!) Quite common.

Could have been one of these.
Keep watching the skies.

I see this often and my theory is that it is sunlight reflecting off of different satellites.
Lots and lots of junk up there.
Also all meteors don’t streak across the sky. Some can come straight in and make a bright blip in the sky.

Disturbances in the upper atmosphere created a temporary magnification effect?

I see stars like this every night. They start out as tiny twinkles, then get larger and larger. Then they land at LAX. It’s really weird. Maybe I need to smoke a cigar.

There are really some bad, bad, bad people on FR, LOL!
Probably a meteor coming straight at you or an airplane in the distance coming at you and turned off his landing lights.
Had a small plane do that to me, thought I was seeing a UFO or something, then he banked and I saw the running lights.
I did see a UFO once years ago that I still can't explain, don't tell anybody :)

I don’t know how quickly a supernova flash happens, but maybe someone else saw what you saw.
You might search Google News for ‘supernova’ over the next few days. https://www.google.com/news/advanced_news_search
If it was a supernova maybe some telescope somewhere caught it?

Actually, Capn, a supernova is believed to shine as bright as the moon and be visible in daylight if close enough, and lasts for several days.

I’m guessing sunlight against a satellite.
