Either lightning or a meteor burning up.

My guesses would be either a fireball/ bolide (extremely bright meteor), or what is called "heat lightning". https://www.farmersalmanac.com/what-is-h...

So-called "sheet lightning" (note spelling - "lightening" is wrong) . Sheet lightning is the refection from clouds of "normal" lightning.

Probably lightening in the distance. Find something else to worry about.

There are all sorts of possibilities. My favorite is an Iridium flare, which is entirely predictable. For details see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satellite_...

Sorry, that was me. Stuck a screwdriver in a live outlet. Freaked out the cat though.
