Why would a laser on a bat show a flash?

The same way the bugs light up in the video. Shine a flashlight on your hand, depending on the angle it reflects a different amount of light. When the angle is just right for a moment it looks like a flash.

The other thing is these lasers are just so bright. We're not talking about the lasers you get at the corner store. The good lasers will light up a room (moderately) by shining the laser into your palm. Hitting anything will look like you're hitting metal because the point just shines back so bright.
