Did anyone see a bright flash of light followed by a loud boom? I believe it was a Meteor

there was a meteor that came crashing down to Earth in Windsor, Ontario.  It was a clear late summer night, so the flash was seen throughout Michigan, Northern Ohio, Ontario and into Western PA and Upstate New York.

Keep on the look out for fragments.  They can be worth a shitload and the general rule is that if the meteor survives to a low enough altitude to generate an audible boom, then fragments will reach the ground.  Happy hunting!

I was in my car driving home from work at 22 mile and Ryan which is pretty close to where they say it broke up over Mount Clemens.  I thought it was fireworks and didn't think anything of it.  It wasn't until I turned on the news later that I heard it was a meteor.
