I was outside watching the 6 am passing of the ISS and it was almost in direct angle with it. Looking toward south east. This was a very slow moving meteor. I assume it was a great distance from my location. I saw the initial flare up to what appeared to be termination was a full 2 seconds but only 30 degrees total.
