Undated·identified

A doubly-observed fireball with a green or yellow-green color was reported and recorded in American Meteor Society meteor notes. The elevation was determined to be approximately 199 kilometers at the beginning and roughly 100 kilometers at the end, and was classified as an ordinary fireball.

“There is one single solitary case of a fireball which by one of the observers - a doubly observed fireball - so it was possible for me to .... which one of the observers mentions a green color. But this peculiarin yellow-green vbich most people in that vork find unusual, and in the ease of that the elevation determined is of the order of, ob 199 kilometers from the beginning point and rqushl¥ 100-tor the end, so I th1Jlk it is only an ordi.IID.ry fireball; nothing unusual about it.”
