I was driving with the radio on, so I could not hear anything. It took me by surprise. Time is pretty accurate (within a minute). Location is not so accurate. There are not a lot of landmarks up there. It was quite dark - the sun set around 4:30.

Remarks
It seemed like a smoke trail that started where the meteor first appeared, then faded after a couple seconds.
