Its the brightest Meteor I have seen in more than 15 years much brighter than the Perseid Meteor Shower I just photographed this year. It lasted what I thought was just over 2 seconds and my guess would be that it would have landed in Texas or New Mexico if it came all they way in. There was another about 40 minutes on the same trajectory about 40 minutes later
