Yeah they are great.
I was also lucky enough to see another one going back about 3 months ago. Except this one happened just before sunset while the girlfriend and I was driving to volleyball. We saw this brilliant streak in front of us (Northerly direction about 15 degrees above the horizon) which once again was green and breaking up into fragments, lasting for about 1-2 seconds. Pity it didn't happen at night as it was pretty bright!
