I saw a nice meteorite last night from Apple Valley, CA. It was green as it fell and was in the south-east sky and looked to be headed for the ground.
I saw that meteor also, I was driving south on Lenwood road just before crossing National Trails Hwy going toward the I15 and saw it almost straight in front of me start as the usual bright white color heading almost straight down fast, as it decended it was slowing and getting brighter then suddenly turned a bright greenish glow as was way bigger than any I've ever seen before, lighting up the sky around it with a yellow/red aura, never dimming before disappeared behind the horizon. If triangulation coordinates were available I'd be there looking for an impact.
Hey,
I saw something over Tucson, AZ on Monday night. It looked like a green ball of fire with a bright white tail. It disappeared from my field of view and was immediately followed by a flash of white light.
Was this a meteor, fireball, or something else?
I would really appreciate anyone's insight into this sighting.
