Default Last night's shooting star?

Did anyone else on this forum who lives in the northeastern US see a bright shooting star last night (Jan. 3, 2006) between 8 and 9pm? When I was walking outside I saw one of the brightest shooting stars I've ever seen.

yes i saw it on the 3rd around 9:30ish. im in new york, and i was looking towards jersey. i posted it on a different part of this forum, and if you see on the main page, their was a meteor rock? (not sure the conclusion) landed in a new jersey house around the same time. i found it interesting.

From the article it sounds like it was *found* around that time, but that it had actually struck the house a few hours earlier.

Hope it was as pretty as this one of space debris or meteor over Colorado. Clip well worth the happy-talk chatter that precedes it.
