Residents in several cities including Beijing, Tianjin, Chifeng in Inner Mongolia and Chengde in Hebei witnessed a bright green bolide streaking across the sky on March 27.

The videos captured the ultra-bright bolide starting off as green and then flashing red midway before ending with another burst of red.

It was a very bright fireball with its luminosity even surpassing that of a full moon.

According to Zhu Jin, a researcher at the Beijing Planetarium, the bolide could correspond to a very large meteoroid. It may not have been completely burned up and some meteorites may have fallen.

The green light emitted by the fireball is related to the physical properties of the meteoroid and the material produced by ionization as it passes through the Earth's atmosphere.

Based on calculations, the meteor is believed to be a sporadic meteor. From the current data, the brightness of the closest data point to the zenith was brighter than -16 magnitude, which is brighter than a full moon.

The footage provided by local media includes four clips taken in Beijing, Tianjin, Chifeng in Inner Mongolia, and Chengde in Hebei respectively.

3月27日0时10分，北京、天津、内蒙古赤峰、河北承德等多地居民，看到一颗明亮的绿色火流星从天空划过。现场视频显示，这颗超亮火流星初始为绿色，中途爆闪后又以一次红色爆闪结束，这是一颗非常亮的火流星，亮度甚至超过了满月。
北京天文馆研究员朱进推测，这次的火流星，对应的流星体可能非常大。不一定完全被烧掉，可能会有陨石掉落。大家看到的火流星发出绿色的光，这与流星体的物理性质，以及它在经过地球大气层时发生电离产生的物质有关。经计算，该流星为一偶发流星。从目前获取数据看，距离天顶最近的数据亮度超过-16等，亮于满月。朱进解释说，可以把火流星理解为非常亮的流星。围绕太阳运动的流星体，在运动的时候，如果被地球挡住了，就会跟地球相遇，进入大气层，产生发光现象。如果它的亮度达到-4等，大约金星的亮度，我们就把它叫做火流星。火流星运动速度快、出现高度低，只有地球上局部约百公里区域范围内可见。
视频中四个片段拍摄地点依次为北京、天津、内蒙古赤峰、河北承德。
