Last Nights Flash In the Sky

[nss2601]

Early this morning 15/2/24 @ 02:56 there was a bright white flash in the sky over dunstable, bedfordshire.  All the cctv cameras around the house went off for 5 or so seconds along with a complete outage of the internet.  I heard a house alarm also going off at the same time.  Does anyone have any ideas as i can't review it back on the cameras as they all went down at the exact same time??

Power glitch caused by overhead cable/transformer fault?

An autorecloser can arc and flash and things like routers go south. Domestic alarms can see a power outage as a tamper and start sounding.

So power outage is my guess.

Electrical fault/transformer failure would be my guess too. Sometimes a bright meteor can light up the sky, but there doesn't seem to be any evidence of that here.
