This happens every once in awhile, see the link...
Check out 2004-FH, which is similar size. "They" say it would have exploded high in the atmosphere, probably without causing any surface damage.
Then there's 2004-FU162 which passed about 4,000 miles up. Well within the 22,000 mile orbit of geostationary satellites. But it was smaller.
The one you probably saw was DT45-2009 on March 4th.
Also check out the 2002 Eastern Mediterranean Event.
