Three traffic-light-green-colored fireballs are spotted over northeast Australia. They were brighter than the moon but not quite as bright as the sun. One with a blue tapering tail passed over mountains about 75 miles west of Brisbane and was seen by a farmer. He then saw a green ball about 12 inches wide roll slowly down the side of a mountain. A physicist from the Queensland University of Technology in Brisbane said the green ball rolling down the slope was certainly not a meteor. No foot-wide perfectly-round meteorite has ever been found, and if it were one, it wouldn't roll slowly down a hill.
A commercial airline pilot who landed in New Zealand reports an object breaking into fragments which turned green as they fell down on Australia.

Another green-blue fireball pass through the skies above northwest Australia. It hung in the sky for quite some time which allows people on the ground to take photos with their phones. Mitch Brune, a rope access technician working the night shift captured a video. "[It] must have been going for at least 30 seconds," he wrote in a statement. "I was amazed at what I was seeing and how it lit up the sky in such a bright green glow; never in my life have I seen anything like it!"
Denby Turton, a mechanical fitter at a mine in western Australia, was sitting with three of his coworkers when they saw the fireball streak across the sky. His boss said "What the heck is that?" Denby turned to look, and was just in time to film the fireball before it disappeared. He said "It went for ages, super slow... We all couldn't believe our eyes. I tried to video it, but all the lights on site made my camera not focus properly.

A bright-green fireball crashes into the Cook Strait between New Zealand's North and South Islands. It was around 3.3 feet in diameter and created a massive sonic boom. It struck with an explosive power of 2,000 tons of TNT.
Two weeks later, another green fireball was seen over Canterbury on the South Island.
