Thousands of meteors probably hit Jupiter each day. None of them are big enough to be visible.
You may be thinking of the comet Shoemaker Levy 9, which broke apart in 1994, and the fragments smashed into Jupiter one right after another, causing titanic explosions and leaving dark marks in the Jovian clouds that lasted for months.
