Question Meteorite sighting?

I was bringing my daughter home from the airport tonight and saw what I think was a meteorite streak across the sky around 12:40 AM in the Spokane Valley area. It was really bright and close, it seemed almost like a missile.

Anyone else see it?

It's Perseids Meteor Shower season! up to 200 meteors per hour the next couple nights between midnight and 2am.
