me what it means, George. Seriously...let it go>>
I'm not saying anyone is. I expect a fair number of green meteors to drop
meteorites probably for the same reason non meteorite dropping shower
fireballs to appear green...they both have the energy to excite the various
atmospheric molecules that will appear green to various observers...regardless
if meteorites are gonna fall or not. The green reports don't mean anything
to me other than it elevates the Ooo and Ahhh factor. Personally I've seen
quite a few green, blue-green and just plain white fireballs for both
sporadics and shower meteors. What significant meaning should I apply to
meteorite dropping green fireballs over the green non meteorite dropping shower
fireballs?
