Exrtemely bright Extremely white flash of light from the ground up St. louis park mn

I was driving EAST on HW394 1/2 mile past ridgdale mall just about 3 blocks before comp usa and the hopkins crossroads/plymouth road bridge. I saw an extremely quick and extremely bright "white" color flash that traveled about 1 thousand feet or more into the air from the ground up approximatly 1 to 2 miles south east of my location and was several blocks wide. I don't know what it was but i saw it and it wasn't normal. I do know there are dense woods in the direction of the sight.
