A bright star like object appeared in the evening sky due North about 45 degrees up. It was brighter than any star and it appeared before any other stars were visible. It lasted for around 5 seconds and dimmed out. It did not move. We were sitting on the porch swing. My father and I noticed it at the exact same time and both remarked "Look at that star!". I have never seen anything like that. I believe it may have been an exploding star. When night fell no stars were visible in the same area as where this star had appeared.
