meteor ?

[Georgia-Hawgs]

Last night approximately 10 Or 11 o'clock I saw a big green light that was huge and glowing bright like the color of a glow stick. Had a tail behind it like a meteor, it was also bright green, I've seen a lot of shooting stars but never anything like this, it was huge and was gone before I could tell my cousin to turn around and look at it. Did anyone else happen to see this ? Or does anyone smarter that me know what it was and why it was the bright green color. I ain't saying it was a space ship or anything, it looked and acted like a falling star,  just way bigger and a wild green color,

The material the meteor was made up of caused the green glow. As it passes through the atmosphere at a high rate of speed, it heated up, causing the gases and minerals to burn and put off the color it was. Just like with neon lights, certain gases, when an electric current is passes through it, reacts with the electrons in the gas excite and bounce off each orher at different rates of speed, and gives off the different colors of light. For example, lets just say for chits n grins, helium gives off a green light, argon gives off yellow, nitrogen is blue and so on and so on through the gas periodic table. But they have to be an inert gas, even under a vaccum, a flamable gas can exploded, so, they use inert gases to change the light spectrum

Ive the JOE DIRT movie i think it might be a crapper from an airplane.

Not sure when that Russian rocket went outta whack but it hit 97 miles high and and then fell back burnin up.

Charles you know to dang much...lol...you payed attention when i didnt...haha, but that makes since. It was the wildest thing, HUGE, super bright green, like I say, I've seen a lot of shooting stars, but this was by far the biggest one I've ever seen in my life, and the color of the meteor and the tail was the brightest green I ever saw. I'd like to catch something like that on film

math, science and physics always were my strong points in school, till i got to high school and started toking on the ganja a lil to much, then my math started slipping. as far as the rest, aside from flying, i enjoy geology. during my drives across this country taking all the beauty GOD created and mankind has ruined, i have always admired the strange rock formations and looking at local/global environmental changes locked into the striations of the rock sediments and wonder what caused this, and what caused that as i drive/walk by them. heck, coming across the panhandle of oklahoma, there is a place where the land is a rolling hillside, but in the midsts of the land, there are rock formation jutting out of the ground, formations, that MIGHT be man made several hundred yrs ago, or they could be formations when mother nature was throwing a temper tantrum and billowing molten rock or heaving the rocks up from under ground. either way, science and physics still intrigue me, i guess another reason i enjoy flying, and learning how to fly. now I'm getting into the meteorological phenomenons of weather, trying to learn how to predict the weather, by the changes in temp, and wind direction and what the barometric pressure is doing by observing a camp fire, somebody smoking something on the smoker, or a trash/leaf pile being burned. same things our ancestors did many years ago without the aid of all this modern weather predicting crap.
