Timeline for I saw a short-lived brightening and fading of a light in the sky. Was that a star imploding, exploding or going super-nova?

For hot network question, fill out title a bit, since that's all that will appear in the HNQ list. The question isn't "explode" vs. "implode", it's "what was that"?
