Re: Meteor

I have seen two bright green ones like that. One was in Steamboat, CO back in 1989. A year before that I saw one in Nacogdoches, TX.

Since then I have seen some bright ones, but none matching those.

So you are lucky to have seen such a rare meteor.

I wonder what chemistry is going on there to create the green glow. I don't remember what spectral lines burning iron produces, but I think it is green. I’ll have to look it up.
