I think its when the space is warped the light (along with everything else) is decompressed and then compressed and then it returns back to normal, Im sure its to do with the compression stage, making it appear like a flash. but I could be wrong

I always figured it had to do something with crossing the light speed.
When an airplane crosses the sound barrier, there's a big "bang" of sound.
So, when a starship crosses the light barrier, there's a big flash of light.
Sounds reasonable, don't you think?

THE REASON OF THE FLASH OF LIGHT IS BECAUSE OF THE SHIP BREAKING DOWN. IN ORDER TO TRAVELL AT LIGHT SPEED, THE ACTUAL OBJECT HAS TO TURN INTO LIGHT, HENCE, TO BREAK DOWN AT THE SUBATOMIC LEVEL, AND THIS IS WHAT CREATES THE LARGE FLASH OF LIGHT. AND ITS WHAT STRECHES THE SHIP.

no the warp flash is beacuase of the warp necelles. They emmit a burst of power which creates a subspace field around the ship and this thrsts the ship in a farward motion. The huge flash which looks like a star is the ship crossing through the warp barrier.

That is absolutely bull. check my story here.
