Bayonne, NJ Meteor Fireball 9OCT2011

Bayonne, NJ Meteor Fireball ~11:00 pm EST 9OCT2011
Spotted the meteor while sitting on my porch outside
This spotting was magnificent and must have been a HUGE meteor because i live right across the water from New York City and since the sky is naturally so bright i can barely see stars let alone meteors.
This fireball i like to call it was only visual for about 2 seconds before it vanished
It was headed in a Northern direction
Only visible in my area for about 2 seconds.
It was very bright, more bright then Venus and the moon but not brighter then the sun
It had a orangish red color which looked as if a white brightness engulfing the edges and trailing behind.
No sounds were heard
and I am sorry but i have no videos or photos of this event.
This is a a rare event in my area so naturally i had to start searching on the internet to see if anyone else had seen this fireball in the sky. -Tiffany  Thank you Tiffany!
