EVERY single Leonid I saw last year (and I was out for 5-6 hours on the
night of peak for the East Coast, total in the several hundreds) appeared
very clearly green to me.
However, almost none of the Perseids and no Quadrantids I've seen looked
very green at all.
I can't figure out what is so odd about me.
