I saw exploding multicolor meteorites in a meteor shower in okinawa in 1998... It's a rarity, but lucky day!

Back then I was 20 and my pictures were made 100% with disposible cameras, so even if I tried and caught it, given that it was at night it would have looked like crap.. I'll never forget it though.

Super cool when you get to see them. Dunno what causes it but I've seen a couple in my life.

Saw a green one at about 1am 40 yrs ago west of Boise ID. Cast a dim green light around the fields in the area. Did the whole exploding thing your talking about. One of the more amazing things I've seen in the sky at night. Probly not the same one though

Flare up is a a better description but, as it got closer to our atmosphere you could see it come in slow, speed up, then at the closest point, it flared up, but yk depth perception it’s hard to say what looks like an explosion

It also looked like something was following it, probably was just a shower of them, but the biggest one was super big, came into the atmosphere, slowed down, and then just went into flames. I’ve never seen anything like it.

Doesn't copper burn green ? Could it not be some kind of space junk or a copper ore meteor

Was never disagreeing on what it was, just wondering if anyone else saw it, or got it on footage

🤝🏻 yes I think it does, also Nickel I am pretty sure. This was so cool tho, when it was exploding it released look like it broke the atmosphere and you could see air waves from it.
