I'm in Northern Wisconsin, object was seen in southern horizon going from east to west - 4 seconds from horizon to horizon, probably meteorite

It was about 5:00 P.M., my time, In Northern Wisconsin. I was waiting for a download, so turned in my swivel chair to take a glance out the window and saw what looked like an oversized star, shooting across the southern horizon (from east to west). I ran to the sliding door and ran out just to see it disappear behind a pine tree. I would assume it was a meteorite of a fairly good size. What amazes me is the several times I got up during the night to witness the large meteor event which was suppose to have happened last month, I saw nothing, with clear skies. Or was it in November?
