I was on the beach at the time, and the cloud cover was thick this night as we had rain showers all day. The meteor broke through thr cloud cover then proceeded to burn for 5-10 seconds until dissapearing. It appeared to just stop burning and I presume eventually crash into the ocean. I was at seabright NJ at the time which is near Naval Weapons Station Earl. It's possible that somebody on night watch may have seen something.
