All I can say is that I wish I could see a meteor shower like this. Makes me wonder why we don't hear reports like this during other meteor showers.

This wasn't a meteor shower; it was a lone erratic bolide. They're basically random.

So where did it impact? :)

What is a bolide? There is no consensus on its definition, but we use it to mean an extraterrestrial body in the 1-10-km size range, which impacts the earth at velocities of literally faster than a speeding bullet (20-70 km/sec = Mach 75), explodes upon impact, and creates a large crater. "Bolide" is a generic term, used to imply that we do not know the precise nature of the impacting body . . . whether it is a rocky or metallic asteroid, or an icy comet, for example.
