Definitely saw it! Didn't think anything of it until now. I was getting off 95N getting onto the 695W ramp. Very bright!

Saw it coming off of the Warren Road Exit of I-83 N. Thought it was going to land in the Baltimore County Landfill.

Saw it as I was heading north on 295, just going under the 695 bridge. Extremely bright given the city lights in the same direction.

Yes - my son pointed it out from the back seat on our way home in Fallston.

I saw it from Long Island, NY. I was driving west around the same time, and saw it southwest of me for about a full second. Very bright.

I didn't see a meteor on February 3rd, but I did see a meteor on Friday February 4, 2011 at 9:14pm. I was in Baltimore, in the northern part of the city when I saw the bright meteor stream across the night sky from east to west.
