One strange aspect of this: It happened slightly before midnight. Generally speaking meteors are more common in the morning hours, between midnight and noon. Those of us between midnight and noon are on the "front" side of the planet at the earth moves around the sun. That is why most are seen in the early morning. They are still there during daylight but we are less likely to see them. After noon we are moving onto the "lee" side, the back side of the planet that gets less meteors. This one hit just before midnight, right at that line between front and back sides.
