Big meteor last night! (Jan 7) Anyone else see it?

Half Moon Bay, California - We were heading south on 1 at Montara Beach, Jan 7, about 8:45 PM.

The meteor appeared to the southwest. It was quite low, just above the treeline, but winked out before it was obscured by the trees.

It lasted for about a 3 second glow once we saw it appear below the top of the windshield, moving slowly, near vertically from our viewpoint. It was by far the brightest meteor either of us have ever seen, easily as bright as the airliner landing lights coming into San Francisco International Airport as seen from Skyline. The glow was more diffuse than a jet light though.

It was really spectacular. Anyone else see it?
