Extremely bright. I have no experience but it was bright enough to light up the area around me in a light similar to a xenon light bulb.

Remarks
At first I heard it before I saw it. There was a whirling/crackling sound similar to if you were to mix a propeller with an old record or taser. About 1.5 seconds after I heard it I looked up and saw it flying directly overhead.
