[AZ-Observing] Fireball last night (sat.)

Howdy;
AJ and I saw a very nice fireball last night, we were doing a viewing session 
from east of Fountain Hills off the Beeline Hwy.  The bright meteor was in the 
southeast, it moved from Hydra into Puppis.  The color was a brilliant 
blue-white and it broke up at the end of the path.  I would estimate its path 
at 60 degrees long and the magnitude at -6, it was brighter than Venus.

Unlike the usual meteor there was time for me to turn AJ around and he had time 
to observe the last half of its track and give it an "OO-AH" with me.  
According to AJ's watch it was 9:44 MST.

Anyone else see this beauty?
