Did anyone else see the blue-green light shot across the southern sky?

Let us decide please. That's what I'm afraid of .. LOL
I'll say this much...it was like something out of Star Wars. I was even interviewed by MUFON about it.

I saw an orange meteor once. Sodium, maybe? Dunno. Fred?

Looked it up. The
flame test says that iron would be "gold" and sodium would be "intense yellow" so it was probably one of those, more likely iron.

" The color of many Leonids is caused by light emitted from metal atoms from the meteoroid (blue, green, and yellow) and light emitted by atoms and molecules of the air (red). The metal atoms emit light much like in our sodium discharge lamps: sodium (Na) atoms give an orange-yellow light, iron (Fe) atoms a yellow light, magnesium (Mg) a blue-green light, ionized calcium (Ca+) atoms may add a violet hue, while molecules of atmospheric nitrogen (N2) and oxygen atoms (O) give a red light. The meteor color depends on whether the metal atom emissions or the air plasma emissions dominate. "

But I'm sticking to the copper theory for the one I saw.

Thanks for the lesson, Fred. I had a feeling you’d have that to hand.

I seem to recall a youtube of a meteor over over the Tetons. Old one iirc, and it was moving slow (too slow for a meteor?).

This was more in the meteor realm, not a space ship!
