The American Meteor Society is a great resource if you ever see a meteor and wonder if anyone else saw it. It's a very cool website, they basically have a public database where anyone can submit a meteor sighting and if there are enough sightings it gets cataloged as an event. They are even able to calculate the rough trajectory based on the locational information and direction of travel that users submit and sometimes if you're lucky someone else might have a video or picture of it.

If you go into their current pending reports section there was indeed a meteor at 7:20 that two other people saw, one in Mass and one in Vermont. The guy from Mass even included the note "Was the most distinct meteor I have ever seen, clear night, no overcast, and from start to finish in my field of view from my right to my left - traveled like a skipping stone of light - what a joy to have seen this tonight."

If you submit your report that would make it three!

Yes, I second this! I saw a meteor last week and made a report. The sighting was amazing, I felt very lucky. Very bright, very quick.
