I saw the meteor last night and noticed news reports today. Thought I would add my observations. It was burning very bright white (like phosphorus) and I viewed it for approximately 5 seconds as I was waiting in my car at a stop light.

It was white like burning phosphorus and still stood out against a hazy gray sky.
