I thought it was a large shooting star, but it was too big for that. More like a firework with larger light flashes in a row.

Remarks
A series/sequence of lights flashed from right to left and slightly angled downward towards the left, almost like a large shooting star or a fireworks that fizzeled out. I was inside and saw it unexpectedly through my window.
