I saw a bright green fireball in broad daylight about 35 years ago, it was amazing, but few others reported it because it was in broad daylight. I've seen them at night bright enough to light up the entire countryside as if it was noon, for a few seconds.

Is it their mineral consistency that causes the green color?

Probably Lynne, I don't believe that the green ones are UFOs. That theory is laughable. It could have been merely a contrast effect in my case, since it was daylight and the sun was high and bright.
But yes, colors seen from hot glowing material is typically just the emission spectrum of said material.
