Nope, we haven't seen it again. Perhaps it was moved to a slightly different orbit to avoid being seen again by prying eyes like mine.
I did get excited for a minute or two just now as I ran across the announcement for
Tiny Star Unleashes Huge Explosion: Quote:

A tiny star recently unleashed what is considered the brightest burst of light ever seen in the universe from a normal star, astronomers announced today. Shining with only 1 percent of the sun's light and boasting just a third of the sun's mass, this run-of-the-mill star previously was nothing to write home about. On April 25, the red dwarf star, known as EV Lacertae, unleashed a mega-flare, packing the power of thousands of solar flares.

But alas, April 25 is a might earlier than May 5 and EV Lacertae is not near psi ursa major. Sigh. Whatever it was, it was certainly cool anyway.
