The one I saw hit the ground....

was aqua... and definitely a vertical trajectory... (unusual for me). Pretty sure I posted this before... the color, which I'll call aqua, was actually a shade of blue I've never seen before or since. Brilliant, almost florescent. Upon impact it sort of 'mushroomed'... it's hard to explain. It's was NOT like an expanding explosion, like a bomb... but more like the air above and to the sides all began to glow simultaneously.

I have pretty good skies where I live, free from light pollution except to the east where Fresno is. And the light pollution from Fresno gets worse every year. Problem with that is... most meteors come in from the east, over Fresno.. making them difficult to see.
