From: https://www.forbes.com/sites/briankoberlein/2017/01/24/there-are-green-meteors-and-green-comets-but-never-a-green-star/#576f851a4ac8 "Meteors are green for a completely different mechanism. As a meteor enters Earth's atmosphere, it is heated to the point where its outer layer is vaporized. The metals in the meteor glow with particular colors. Green comes from nickel. The most common metallic meteors are iron-nickel, so green is a common color. This glow tends to be brightest when meteors hit the atmosphere at high speed. For example, fast-moving Leonid meteors can often have a green glow."

If one looks at the Wiki [Link] then one finds

"The visible light produced by a meteor may take on various hues, depending on the chemical composition of the meteoroid, and the speed of its movement through the atmosphere. As layers of the meteoroid abrade and ionize, the colour of the light emitted may change according to the layering of minerals. Colours of meteors depend on the relative influence of the metallic content of the meteoroid versus the superheated air plasma, which its passage engenders:[47] And [47] leads to an article by NASA: [Link]

thorbiorn Yep. I saw one on 2/9/20. It was green around blue and white. Beautiful.

Two points:

1) I've previously pointed out the illogic of meteors seen or meteorites striking at the same locations over time. This relates to Fort's "Super Sargasso Sea.

See, e.g. all the recent bolides in Florida, India and Spain.

2) Another indicator proving how stupid Americans are:

This site (AMS) fantastic. It asks where you were, direction you were looking when you saw the bolide, 'did you hear anything' etc. It then creates a map as in the report above (relinked: https://fireball.amsmeteors.org/members/imo_view/event/2020/1532#video_box)

Go to it. See the reporters who were 'smart' enough to post that they saw a bolide: LOOK HOW MANY IDIOTS SAY THEY WERE LOOKING 180 degrees in the wrong direction. (Such as Kelly Report 1532e - 2020, who stated she saw it to the South when it was to the North.

(Actually, this report has pretty consistent reports. Most have at least 30% dead wrong sighting directions, duration estimates, etc.)

All of the green meteors around lately and recent comets kinda looks like we are entering a debris field of some ancient collision, of some sort. Not your typical snowballs.

It is understood that the comet we are about to witness could be a part of an ancient collision, breaking up a larger body into pieces. This comet has an electric component that causes a magnetic field of carbon 5 times the size of Jupiter and half the size of the Sun. That should be interesting to watch as it goes around the Sun.
