G'day, thehutchenator,
to IIS.
Sadly I didn't see anything, except for
These damn clouds!!!, despite my being in Sydney.
Meteors are ususally insignificant. After so many billion of years, most of the really big stuff that used to regularly pumell the Earth, most of the stuff that enters the atmosphere is no bigger than a pea.
Occasionally you do get bigger stuff, and there are regular reports of sonic booms being heard associated with this critters.
Just wait for your first fireball! This is a meteor whose trajectory entering the atmosphere is very shallow, so it is skimming along it for a very long time and distance. Very often you'll see bits flying of it as it breaks up too, even variations in colour (I've seen green fireballs a couple of times). And even more creepy is the glowing trail left behind the fireball. This stuff is both "smoke" and super heated gases that were created as the thing shot through at something like upto 50,000km/hr - that is one heck of a carpet burn!
If there is something "significant", like the thing being man-made in origin, unless it poses a risk to people, or a particularly big or history piece, we wouldn't really hear about it. There are some 'crazies' that chase these things too to photograph the re-entry, much like storm chasers.
Mental.
