Details:
I saw two fireballs and several smaller meteors from the meadow at the Pohick Bay campground in Virginia. There were a few clouds, but I saw several meteors through the clouds. This particular fireball started greenish yellow (because of vaporizing magnesium and iron in the meteoroid) and ended red (because of heated oxygen in the atmosphere). The second image is labeled.
