DEW...?
But why?
I've never heard if a meteor giving off green light. Any spacefags here want to comment?
Fireballs can be colorful. Small streaks are too dim to trigger your color receptors, but bigger streaks (fireballs) are bright enough to look colorful.
As the article said, it could be magnesium. It could also be energized oxygen atoms, because at the height of the fireball, the atmosphere will be quite thin.
The streak is just due to alignment and optical illusion. It burned up very high up and you'd get mostly falling dust.
According to this guy it happened twice in a week, which is virtually impossible. https://youtu.be/mzV4m28wg-M
There are no shooting stars that hit the ground. Meteors are electrical sparks from the dome. This is clearly man made.
People have been making things (swords, sayeth the legends) from meteors since ancient times. Things definitely hit the ground.
You definitely have no proof but ancient tales, all of which are BOGUS. We living humans have never in recorded history seen a meteor crash in to earth. Craters on earth are the results of gas bubbles that rupture at the surface leaving a perfectly round crater. Im sure metals can be found in craters as its earth.
Watch the Cctv footage. You will see there is something to the left of the volcano that shoots straight up just before the DEW is fired. There is similar footage from space about 10 years old showing similar interaction. If you watch closely you can see the object move up at a high rate of speed in both CCTV footages.
I watched that video and some commentary on it. If you can get a clear video of it you can actually see something come out of the volcano before the DEW hits. One of the guys I follow is big into UFO's and he says lots of UFO sightings are near volcanos as they hang out in them. His theory with this video is that a DEW was targeting the UFO in the volcano and it missed as you can see the small whatever it is escape just before the DEW streaks down. I don't know but it was a decent theory because it sure as shit wasn't a comet or meteor.
