Because of the initial flash and brightness of the meteor I doubt I was the only witness. I am not positive of the exact time but it was sometime around 9:30 PM. Unfortunately, I didn't check the exact time.

Remarks
At first I thought it was a flash of lightning but then I saw the fireball and its trail for just a few seconds after the initial flash. I was in my vehicle and did not hear any "boom" but there probably was one. I assume the flash occurred when the object entered the earth's atmosphere.
