NUFORC Sighting 170675

Occurred: 2022-07-24 22:42 Local
Reported: 2022-07-25 10:57 Pacific
Duration: instant
No of observers: 1

Location: Mequon, WI, USA

Shape: Light
Characteristics: Aircraft nearby

While star gazing, I saw an extremely bright flash, no sound near the handle of the dipper in the north west sky

The best way to describe it would be like a strobe light but brighter, white light. I noticed a plane not far from it and recognized the significant size and brightness compared to the aircraft's lights. But I have no way to discern how high up the bright flash was in comparison to the plane.
