The other night I was laying out stargazing with a friend and my friend saw a shooting star( I missed it) a second later we both saw it a bit further away, it got bright green and then sizzled out, and then turned bright green again, and then sizzled out. Happened 3 or 4 times and then we never saw it again. Could my theory of a meteorite bouncing or skipping along the atmosphere be accurate?

Thanks!
