Green Fireballs is a self descriptive term used to refer to various unidentified objects which have been sighted in the sky since the late 1940s. Early sightings primarily occurred in the southwestern United States and in particularly in New Mexico, and they were once of notable concern to the US government because they were often clustered around sensitive research and military installations, such as Los Alamos and Sandia National Laboratory; then Sandia base.
Green fireballs have been prescribed both natural and man made origins and have since become associated with both the Cold War and Ufology.
