Related to earlier discussions, I logged the reported colors in the 240 AMS
reports. This is just a quick scan, but is pretty close to accurate. It's a
lot to read through quickly.

Green 6
White 6 (2 with red trail)
Red 3
Gold 3
Orange 2
1 each:
Yellow
Blue
Pink
Silver
Blue-White
Green-Red
All the colors of the rainbow
Iridescent

This shows while report of Green are common, everyone sees what they
perceive, and reports are inherently anectdotal unless supported by
spectrographic data.
