I just want to make it clear I saw this at night the Venus bit was a reference to the brightness there was no movementt best way to describe it was not a flash but that it lit instantly then faded out after 1-2 seconds

ah i see this is why i didnt post other day didnt want to make myself look silly lol , what i saw as i said lasted 1-2 seconds it was like a star getting switched on then off was roundish in shape and was as bright as venus is in the morn at the moment . it was the location of 1c2166 that really got me thinking as it was exactly where i was looking.

having just read the report of the astronomer in irelands find it shocked me as i had told my wife i had seen a strange and very bright flash of light in the sky that lasted maybe 1-2 seconds the other night (funny thing is cant rem if it was tues or weds think it was weds ). i actually said to her i think i may have seen a supernova but not sure if its possible, have researched where IC2166 is on stellarium and to my amazement it is exactly where i was looking anybody know if this is possible ?
