If this helps I asked ChatGPT if it was possible for a meteor to glow green when exploding and it’s said yes because of nickel and magnesium. Thank you!

I saw a small quick white streak in the sky then it suddenly blew up in a light green color.
Fragmentation

Yes
Remarks
The quick and small explosion looked as if it turned to dust. Almost like when you throw a snowball at a fence and it turns to powder on the other side.
