I saw a really nice one on the way to the recent MAG meeting. I first thought it was for 10 seconds, but more close to the time for me to tell my wife "oh my god, look at that one!" then it went out.
I tried to find out more about it, but had no luck.
That was the biggest and brightest one I think I have ever seen. Kinda nice early in the morning on the way to a meteorite meeting.
