There's an article on space.com about bright fireballs associated with the Taurid meteor shower being seen.
It seems 2005 may be a 'swarm' year when the Earth intercepts a thicker than usual patch of particles from the parent stream. This could lead to some brighter fireballs. The shower peaks between Nov 5 and 12 so may be worth a look if you have clear skies.
