I was driving on 880N in Fremont when the whole northern to east sphere lit up the ENTIRE sky, like lightning times 50! 3 flashes, first, second came about 20 seconds later, and the last one came about 30 seconds later.

It was a greenish-whitish light, SUPER bright, I know someone saw something similar to this before. Looked like it was coming from the north (brightest in the north).

It was so bright that it was like daylight for a split second.

What the hell was it?

It's DEF not this:

Maybe three souls returned form the dead...

 

Dude, I'm serious... I even called and emailed the news... I wanna know!

 

the international space station was supposed to be visible the past couple or so days ago...

 

I was thinking that it was maybe an Iridium flare, but I've never seen anything THAT bright! I mean, it was ridiculously bright.

 

Holy crap, really? That might explain it... An Iridium satellite flare from the ISS could generate something bright enough to do this.

 

Yup

 

I'm glad I'm up on my astronomy, though I didn't know the space station was visible. heheh

 

i feel like you shouldnt be able to see a flare from the space station with just the naked eye.

 

Look it up.

Iridium satellite flare.

 

its the aliens

 

I remeber a few years ago when a power transformer exploded in my area. The entire county was lit up by an electric blueish white flash and a bzzzzz noise. It was weird but sounds similar to the event you are describing.
