It was near Mt. Rainier in Washington.

Looked like an asteroid falling...

But it was NEON GREEN!

Whoa! thats freaky, i've never seen a UFO... maybe some day

I saw the exsact same thing. roughly about may/june
in Adelaide. it shot across the sky so fast .
that afternoon a family were chased across the nullabor. they filmed it
and it was put all across the news.there is a video on youtube about it
can't find the vid atm though because there has been alot of activity
across australia

I saw one of those years ago in Florida. It was falling to the ground and disappeared so fast I couldn't even get a word out before it was gone. I watch UFO shows all the time, but have never heard anything about these green things. Incidently this was not too far from Kennedy Space Center, and it went down near where I would see the shuttle going up.

Well I've seen the same thing. A streak of neon green going across the sky. At the time I thought it was a meteor but now after reading this I'm not so sure. My sighting was about two years ago in Sioux City. I remember the streak because it was an unusual color for meteors.

Colors in general result from either emission of light of specific wavelengths, or absorption of light of specific wavelengths from a mix of photons. At the root of both emission and absorption is the excitement of electrons.
Electrons on atoms have different amounts of energy proportional to the distance of their orbital from the nucleus. Electrons (which are negative) close to the positive nucleus have lower potential energy; those in "higher" energy levels farther away have more energy. In order for an e- to "jump" from a lower level to a higher one it must absorb energy, often in the form of light. Conversely when an e- "falls" from a higher level to a lower one, it gives off energy, again in the form of a photon of light.

The amount of energy either absorbed logically depends on the distance the electron "jumps" or "falls". But the e- always absorbs or releases exactly one photon of light, not lots of photons for a big change in energy but a few photons for a small change in energy. How can this be? This is where the color comes in: photons with a high frequency have lots of energy, photons with low frequency have little energy, and we perceive photons with high frequency as bluer and those with lower frequencies as redder ( with all the colors of the rainbow in between as in ROY G BIV ).

OK. So in the flame, electrons get excited and pushed to higher energy levels by the heat energy. When they fall back down, they give off photons of light of different colors, based upon how far they fall. Different temperatures cause electrons to jump to different levels, but different types of atoms also have energy levels that are different distances apart. Thus putting copper into a flame causes a green glow because electrons on the copper atoms are falling and jumping exactly the right distance to emit or absorb photons of the frequency we see as green (you can try this with a penny)

The same idea explains not only color in flames, but all the colors we see.

please it is just the energy flowing through the planets.
