Sacramento, CA Meteor 14NOV2011

Sacramento, California Meteor 06:15 AM 14NOV2011
I was driving to work this morning at 0615, heading East on Arden Way in Sacramento, CA. The Sun was just starting to rise, and the sky was violet blue. There was a streak of brillant light in the North, heading North. It was very bright (much brighter than Venus), and cast off several glittering sparkles, almost like a Fourth of July sparkler. It lasted for 2 - 4 seconds. Anyone else see it in Northern California? Regards, Marcie A.  Thank you Marcie!
