I can't say that I ever found a meteorite...but I was close nough to hear it "POP" when it burned in.
I was performing a BPO/Pre flight inspection on one of my jets early one Fall morning. I had just finished up wiping down the nose landing gear and was backing out of the wheel well, when I turned to the west and heard a "sizzle"...I looked up and saw the meteor streak in and go BANG...pieces fell to the west over Tillicum/Ft. Lewis and Puget Sound. Once in a lifetime event!
 

same here buddy i saw on also one night land maybe a mile from were i was 8)
 

My wife and I were driving North on Rt 81 just below Cortland and saw something leaving a bright orange trail streak across the sky. It turned bright green and immediately split into a half-dozen pieces. Never did hear if there were strikes, and Lord knows it could have been large and much farther away than it appeared and the smaller pieces "skipped" on the edge of the atmosphere and back into space. Truly amazing to see.
