On Monday night (1/7/08), around 9 PM, my girlfriend and I saw a large fireball in the south-southeastern sky, just above the treeline on the National Mall near the National Gallery of Art Sculpture Garden.  It was hazy with high clouds, but the meteor still was the brightest object in the sky for about 3 seconds, moving slowly from east to west on a diagonal toward the ground and shining at magnitude -6 to -7 by my estimate.

Anyone else happen to see that?  It was probably the brightest fireball I've ever seen, and I saw one in broad daylight last year, too.
