Bright GREEN indicates a lot of COPPER was in the material.

It was either an old satellite or Hillary's E-mail server..................

There’s always a green haze over Colorado. :)

I saw the shuttle re-enter the atmosphere late one night over east Texas back in the mid 1990s. It, too, made an eery green streak across the sky..scared me half to death at the time.

I saw a blue one over Golden, Colorado during the Leonid shower of ‘98.

Well, I guess it’s fireball season.

Next time I go imaging up north, I’ll have to remember to bring an extra camera.

“Bright GREEN indicates a lot of COPPER was in the material.”

I don’t know why it was ‘mysterious’. I saw one in Longmont, CO one day when I was heading to the airport. I heard it landed somewhere in Arizona. Bright green.

Could be the dopers seeing things...

caught the fireball on his car's dash cam

Gotta get a dash-cam. All sorts of great stuff seems to get captured on them.

I’ve seen a bright green fireball/shooting star while driving at night.
I simply assumed it was a meteor with a lot of copper in it.

In meteors, color means heat. Low speed meteor can have a green color.

As it gets lower, it will change as the atmosphere gets thicker...more friction...more heat.

I saw a LOT of green Leonids back in 99. When the radiant was low they were green. AS the radiant got higher, they changed to white and blue.

Orange meteors are REALLY cool. I’ve only seen a few.

"The fireball, which could have been a meteor, satellite debris or a warning shot from an alien warship,"

I hope we have more than a standard galactic week to resolve their issues.

Coloradans who were up before the sun on Wednesday morning saw a "bright green" fireball soar across the sky before it burned out over the mountains. More than 60 eyewitnesses filed sightings on the American Meteor Society's website.

"Half a city block explodes in a ball of green flame. Green flame! All hell is breaking loose here."

[Clay Moore]

Ten years or so ago, I was walking out to the truck to go to work at about 0530. As I got to the door, everything lit up with a greenish light. I turned around and saw the largest fireball I have ever seen traveling eastward about 10* above the horizon.

The fireball extinguished before it hit the ground.

No aliens or anal probes involved. (^;

“It was either an old satellite or Hillary’s E-mail server..................”

LOL. Well, Hillary said her email was in the cloud.
