According to the Hubble, which didn't see anything, the flash recorded on the face of Jupiter must have been cause by a lightweight small astro-rock that vaporized in the upper atmosphere of Jove. That interpretation is due to the non-observation of ash, soot, or heavy metals discoloring the swirling patterns of circulation in the Jovian atmosphere.
As artistically as I can state it, the little space wayfarer was just too small to make more than an instantaneous impression on the King of the Solar System.
