Southern Louisiana residents who spotted a green flash in the sky Thursday night can get the kids out from under the kitchen table and put away the gas masks. It was likely only a meteor and may not have even survived long enough to touch the ground.

Reports from Baton Rouge in the east to Jefferson Davis Parish in the west were called in to news outlets about a greenish light seen in the skies around 8:30 p.m.

“It was big green flash and the end of it was wrapped up in flames,” Belleau said.

Hupp said NASA didn’t have any indication of something big enough to hit the ground going through Earth’s atmosphere in the Louisiana area Thursday night.

“We would know it,” she said. “They do watch that stuff, because we do watch our satellites.”

1. Do they really watch the satellites closely

enough to catch every meteorite? Anyway, the green ones are very pretty.

2. Actually, I just found out that

the satellites DO track all of these meteors. Just saw it on a Nat Geographic program about meteorites.
