Bright green fireball in Shasta/Trinity County, California
A green fireball shaped object with a yellow tail traveled from north to south at approximately 30 degree angle. This event was viewed for approximately one to two seconds. The object was west of our location in Millville, CA. Other individuals apparently reported this event and authorities are looking into it. I have a BA in Geography and an AA in Nursing. If recollection serves me correctly, magnesium burns green when heated, though I very well could be incorrect.
((NUFORC Note: Probable dramatic meteor at 19:45 hrs. on this date. We have amended the time above to the correct time of the incident. Please see other reports. PD))
