lightning flash
Electric sky streak
A lightning flash is a single discharge of atmospheric electricity, the visible burst of light produced when lightning strikes.
The term emphasizes the sudden, brief nature of the event: The lightning flash illuminated the entire valley for an instant.
Flash and lightning are often used interchangeably, but lightning flash specifies one discrete stroke rather than a storm's ongoing electrical activity.
