Me and a friend saw a giant blue/white light up in the sky that made no sound

At around 22:15(10:15 PM), me and a friend saw a gigantic blue/white light up in the sky that made zero noise and seemed to disappear after about two seconds.

We went through any possibilities of what the object could have been but all seemed to be wrong, of course the first one being that it was a plane. We went over this but decided against it; the object was simply too big to be a plane.

My grandmother suggested it was a rocket, but my friend and I quickly disregarded this theory.

We also suggested that it could be a star exploding but didn't have any evidence against or for this theory.

For all we know, it could have been a star exploding.
