The meteor that wasn't over NE Ohio?

This sounds like a very interesting story. Any pics or follow up to story will be added accordingly. I've seen my share of meteors. But none that change color. I personally did not witness the event.

I happened to be driving to work around this time on Rt. 71 S. heading towards Lodi when I saw it appear on my left (west). It was EXTREMELY BRIGHT when it first appeared, gold and reddish. It then changed colors to a brilliant green and had a golden tail as it descended towards earth. It burnt out before it hit the tree line. According to the news reports on Channel 5 at 6 p.m., it was a marble sized meteor. Most shooting stars seen by people are the size of a grain of sand hitting the atmosphere (this is true, check the facts anywhere). This one being marble sized gave a great show. I also had two other guys traveling with me to work who saw it also. We all agreed that it was an awesome morning display of YHWH's might. Have a great day!!

it couldn't be by any chance ice/gasses burning up in the atmosphere? strange how it changed colour but there could be reasons for it

I think it was last year or maybe 2 years back that in Adelaide, South Australia a meteor was witnessed by many that had changed colour from red to green and blue, various elements in release different gas and flame, it quite common not all are one colour.

Not unusual for a large meteor to change color. It has to do with the heat generated as it travels through the atmosphere. Red, yellow and blue are common.
