Early one Saturday morning hours before sunrise and driving across country Victoria to reach the Great Ocean Road a bright glow of green lit up most of the clear night sky. Lasting several seconds. Local ABC radio was playing. Within a short time the announcer proclaimed the station had taken phone calls from puzzled listeners seeing the same thing.

I have since found out a larger falling meteor is like this. If the meteor is made of iron and nickel it producers a green glow from friction in the atmosphere.
