      Have You Ever Seen A Green Meteor?

      So, it's about 1:09am December 13th 2008. I am driving east along HWY 400 in Kansas, about an hour from Wichita. My wife is next to sort of dozing off and I am deep in thought when something bright grabs my attention out of the corner of my eye. I look out my driver-side window and notice a very large and very bright green fireball shooting slightly over us, about 30 degrees up to exact, and soaring exactly parallel to the horizon. We were traveling 70MPH, a little over the speed limit and this thing comes from behind us from nowhere and streaks past us at an incredible rate of speed. It only lasted about four or five second before it dissipates or vanishes behind a cloud. By comparing the meteor to a full moon I would estimate that it was about 3/4 as bright and a little less than half the size of a full moon; relatively speaking of course.

      I would have thought I was hallucinating or something but my wife saw it too, so I've got a witness. I wasn't sure what we had seen, of course the sci-fi lover in me instantly thought "UFO", so I did a little research online and I guess it's not that uncommon for meteors to be green or even that big. it was just odd how it approached us and seem to vanish like that. I also came across American Meteor Society and made a report there. I never in my wildest dreams thought I would see something like that.

      Anyway, I'm curious if there is anyone from Kansas or a neighboring state that might have seen the same thing.

      Yeah, sorry about that, didn't mean to scare you. I needed to head out to the rings of Saturn to pick up a message from a friend of mine, which is a bit too far for me to hold my breath. So I dusted off my old spaceship to travel in comfort. Plus it has a great stereo system...

      I was just taking it back to the family barn in Smallville, that must be when I passed you. Sorry if I startled you!

      I was once in a celebration (sort of wedding like) I spotted something similar to what you described. I thought it was my imagination it was really far away and fast but color reminded me of fireworks then a woman dancing next to me told me she saw it too. This is a random picture i found on net just to tell this was the color (shape was round then again this was years ago I can't really remember)

      My apologies Enigmik; no mockery was intended. I simply could not resist the inside joke, especially since you saw it in Kansas! This is Senseless Banter, my friend. Perhaps this topic would have been better put in the Lounge?

      In any event, it sounds like a damned cool sighting—wish I'd been there to see it.

      Enig, are you a farmhand yourself or do you work at the Daily Planet?

      LOL. actually it was amusing. I was only half serious. Was being a little condescending perhaps? I think I was just in a more serious mood when I posted and I don't know how to take a joke most times. Perhaps it should have been in the lounge. Ah well. I usually just post in my DJ anyway.

      Slayer, I don't live in Kansas I was just traveling home from Wichita. I live in Southeast Missouri.
