This was low in the Northern sky. The time was an estimate as I was outside from 10 to 11:00 pm. I observed several other meteors that night before and after that sighting. This was by far the largest flash that I have seen and much closer than I have seen. Amazing.

Remarks
I observed a trail, larger than usual meteors, then a large flash stopping immediately like it had hit the earth's atmosphere. Timing was very fast. 2 seconds or so.
