I saw an incredible meteor from my back porch Monday night. It was unlike anything I've ever seen. I logged on to the web a few minutes later to see if there were any news reports of meteors and saw the story about the meteor over New Zealand...my question is do you think it was the same one?

I live in the Western part of North Carolina...is it physically possible for me to have seen the same meteor? I curious because this "meteor" was very unique and it seemed to be burning a very green color. It streaked across the sky for what seemed like 5 or 6 seconds until my vision was blocked by the thick woods behind my house.

I've watched a few Perseid showers and this was absolutely the most spectacluar thing I've ever seen.

Is there anyone who is looking into this meteor over NZ that I should contact to give them my account of this?

I'd appreciate your feedback..I'm absoultely fasincated with this right now.
