I saw a green object above Seattle, at about 5:45 AM on 10/1, occuring at the time of a northern lights display.
While running this morning, headed north in the vicinity of NW 80th Street in Seattle, I saw a bright green object high in the sky, to the northeast. It swept across only that part of the sky and was moving in a slight arc at a fast, constant speed. It most resembled a meteor, except for its bright green color. It had about the luminescence of a Fourth of July "sparkler." At this time, to the north, a "northern lights" display was occuring, so I figured at the time that a meteor had been colored in some way by that northern lights event. Then I heard on the radio that a green object had been spotted south of Seattle earlier in that 5 o'clock hour, so I thought I would contribute this perspective.
((NUFORC Note: Probable meteor. Many other reports. PD))
