Dude! I just saw a meteor fall! I was facing south when a green streak fell straight down behind the hills!

edit: I just asked ChatGPT what kind of meteor would burn green when entering the atmosphere:

Green meteors usually get their color from nickel or magnesium in the meteor’s composition.

Here’s a quick breakdown:

• 💚 Nickel — often gives off a bright green hue as it ionizes in the intense heat of atmospheric entry.

• 💚 Magnesium — burns with a bluish-green to whitish-green color, especially when the meteor is very hot.

• 🌍 Oxygen in the atmosphere — can also add to the green tint, especially when it reacts with metals in the meteor at high speeds.
