a most beautiful shooting star or space junk

I'm sitting here at the computer in front of a window facing East and the most beautiful green fireball just went by. It was the biggest I have ever seen and could have landed less than a mile away if it didn't burn out.

Go find it if you can.  If it is a meteor, they are worth big bucks.  It could finance you a new rig or two and more especially if it is large.

Could be invading Martians!!!

green?     Most likely metals.......probably very valuable space junk...

Frank,

In Dec of 1965 when I was 16, I was looking out the window of my parents living room to the west at the sunset. Suddenly the whole sky lit up and a meteor streaked across the sky off to the west.

It looked like that movie the "Day After Tomorrow". It was big! Never seen anything like it since.

Ran into the kitchen to tell my folks. No one else had seen it, and they didn't believe me until the papers came out the next day.

BTW there is quite a bit of stuff about this on the internet. It isn't a UFO, just a big meteor. I know I saw it.

P.S. This was in Hamburg, NY, just south of Buffalo and it traveled out to the west over Lake Erie. It was red and orange.

That should have given enhanced 2 meter scatter for about 5 seconds.

This was about 1 year after 9/11 a few years after TWA 800 during sunrise, I was on my way to work and saw this big fire ball and huge con trail as it tore across the sky over Long Island Sound.  I watched it for several minutes while tooling down I95 wondering what the heck it was.  Several people at work saw it too.  You could almost tell that it was something man-made.  That's how big it was and close.  In the news it was reported as being the first stage of a rocket booster from a launch several months earlier.  It apparently was tracked out into the Atlantic.  Quite the show.

Well after thinking about it. This thing was going almost North to South.
I saw it bust apart and burn up so doubt anything made it to the ground.
It was bright green.
