Have a look at Ed Majden's work. He has captured the 558nm oxygen line
on several meteor spectra.

Hi all -
While one might think that the difference in entry
spectra is simply a reflection of the neural function
of the eye, based on my observational experience, I
have to disagree. Both entries were bright, and there
was a distinct difference in spectra.
I think this could go the way of the cold meteorites
discussion, but fortunately in this case the color
capabilities of automatic videotaping systems will
probably resolve the question in the near future.
The one had a green cast to it, the other did not. At
least that's how it looked to me. I suppose for the
time being maybe its best to leave it at that.
good hunting,
Ed
