| Name | Tim L |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I have never seen a meteorite this bright, it was still early twilight but it was very visible. Two pieces clearly separated from the larger one and followed behind, all appeared to die out before they went over the horizon. My wife saw it too, based on its trajectory, I guessed it landed East of Klamath Falls, OR. |
