| idiom. | in a matter of a split second | за долю секунды (Two hours after the mothership blinked off after 30 minutes, a cube-shaped craft went zipping along over the treetops where the mother ship had been. In a matter of a split second, the cube crossed the water and was one house away from me hovering, completely silent. The entire area was bathed in golden light: it had 16 lights per side. Ten minutes later, two cubes stuck together zipped over the treetops over the mainland and as I watched, they unzipped. All blue lights on one, all red lights on the other.
