I’m just wondering what kind of chemicals burn bright green and then turn hot pink. I’d like information on the meteor/possible meteorites if you have any.

Terminal flash
Observation
Yes
Remarks
The fireball appeared brightly flashing and was burning green, then in the trail as it burned up other colors like hot pink flashed. I didn’t see it completely eclipse and fall apart, it kept going until it disappeared.
Fragmentation
Observation
Yes
Remarks
Yes it was falling apart in its trail of burning stuff with different colors of light burning out behind and sort of sputtering what could have been chunks falling off. But I didn’t see any chunks falling off to earth, just burning up in various colors. It was very colorful.
