I was driving home when I saw it. Location was probably within a few blocks east or west of where I marked myself and it was probably within 5 minutes of when I marked, but I didn't check the exact time.

Remarks
Near the end of when I saw it, it appeared to break into two visible pieces. One piece burned out fairly quickly but the other piece continued for a little bit.
