I saw something that looked like a shooting star, but it seem to explode in a bright green flash?

Meteors can vaporize and break apart, thus "explode".  That is probably what you saw.

UFO???  I interpret this to be anything buzzing in the air that I have no clue what the heck it was,,, but this happens mostly just at night.. during tha daylight hours I can see things more clearly.\n\nDo I think aliens exhist??..The based on a true story movie "Fire in the sky" was pretty darn convincing

Canterbury - 1178 AD   Depending on the size of the explosion, you wouldn't necessarily need a telescope to see an event on the moon.\n\nAlso - http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=1182939\n\nIn the above story, the guy used a telescope and a camera to photograph a possible explosion - which is still being debated.\nAn observed moon "explosion" is very plausible, yet so is the wine!  While sampling some wines - for science purposes ONLY! - I think I may have observed a few "moon explosions" myself............LOL!

Yes I have, about 8 years ago. It was a ufo, until we managed to identify it as a Sirius satellite, the 'cigar shape' was the light reflected off it's solar panels. Spent 2 days worrying about an alien invasion!!

what r u people talking about. you can still see stars when you get hit, I have a personal experience although it was more like little squares of light.

When I was 3 years old I saw an object in my front yard very early in the morning before anybody in the neighborhood ever got up. It was about the size of a soccer ball and was shiny gold  in color. It was pulsing up and down about a foot each time. I remember this like it was yesterday (I am now 63 years old). I told my mom about it and when she came to look it shot up in the air at blistering speed and she never got to see it. It came back two more times but she never saw it. It never made a sound. This happened back in 1946 and I will never forget it. I saw another one when I was 19 years old it was at midnight and it flew over my house. It looked like it was on fire. It never made a noise either. Nobody was around at the time so I could show them. I had just got back from a date and everybody was in bed. This is my experience with UFO's.

Yes..I have seen a many number of things both day and night..A massive object perhaps the size of a football field..with a smooth surface squared on all corners it was very massive and overwhelming..too big to be in the sky!! \nI have have witnessed a silver disc object above me in mid afternoon while fishing on my boat in the middle of the lake..it shot straight up into the sky with instant speed. Speed that we dont have here.\nAn elongated diamond light at night that graduated to having the intensity of a very bright spotlight...then dimming again to oginal intensity ..and shot off up into the sky..with incredible speed again...speed we dont have here.\nOrange glowing spheres in early evening...\nbackwards "c" shaped object in the daylight...\nthe list goes on..but..Yeah..I have seen many...Each time something does happen..it is like a new concept..it seems to keep opening the mind more and more..there are lots of things happening..it is not slowing down.

go ahead n check out this site http://www.nuforc.org/\nit deals with situations like urs n u may also get listed in their reports

Don't listen to all that physics stuff... It's when two people have a shocking encounter... Like when the stars collide and energy is released,\n\nfasteddie...

A shooting star is not actually a star.  It is a meteor.\n\nA meteor is the light you see when a meteoroid comes in contact with the Earth's atmosphere.  The "ram pressure" of this object, which is usually rock or rock + iron, smacking into our atmosphere creates heat, and the meteor begins to burn.\n\nWhen our Solar System was forming, there was a lot of junk left over.  If our Earth's orbit intersects with this junk, it will burn in our atmosphere.  \n\nMost meteoroids are tiny (dust and pebble sized) and burn up before they can reach the Earth.  Some hit the atmosphere the wrong way and skip across it like a stone thrown to skip across a lake, and eventually escape, albeit somewhat smaller now.  Some manage to hit the Earth.  There's one in the Adler Planetarium in Chicago that is huge, about three feet long and a foot through the middle.  (When they make it to the groud they are called meteorites.)\n\nMeteor can come one at a time, but there are also meteor showers, times during the year when you can expect to see a lot of meteors (10-80 per hour).  This happens when the Earth passes through the trail left by a comet.  Meteor showers are named for the constellation from which they appear to radiate.  The most famous is the Perseids, which radiate from Perseus, and are associated with the comet Swift-Tuttle.

Aurora can also look like waves or ripples going through the sky.  I think radiating away from the pole.  That's the only kind I've seen, but it was cool and really weird.

i believe they are rockets launched just prior to the explosion. They give us an idea of how fast the explosion is expanding. hope this helped. :)

I havent had an encounter.... but I have seen one. It was hanging over a highway at night.We drove directly under it, and it was no higher up than a treetop. The object was triangular in shape, with rounded corners. There were colored lights along the inside of the triangle. It made no noise as we went under it, and on the way home, my friend said it wasnt there. For those of you that answered my question about ufo's, whether you believe me or not, I was not on anything, and wasnt drinking. I know what I saw.

On 25th June 2006 at 05:07:26 am, exactly IST, look in the SW skies about 60 degrees. It helps if you get your watch to exactly IST from an internet time server or something. You will see a very bright flash of light.(Trust me this will really happen.)\n\nIf this looks anything like one of ur "UFO" sightings then it wasnt a UFO but sunlight reflecting off the solar panels of a Satellite.

I actually saw a huge meteor 2 nights ago crossing East to West.  This year's show was not predicted to be much, I was very surprised to see this large flaming fireball.  A meteor is a piece of rock debris which in huge amounts constitute the tail of a comet.
