Patriarchy
The dominant composition of a meteor can play an important part in the observed colors of a fireball. This green streak is from the Perseids meteor shower in the summer of 2016, and after doing a little research it's likely that these meteors are primarily composed of Nickel which would explain the green coloration as they burn up traveling through our outer atmosphere. I called this Patriarchy because the tree you're looking at might be 4,000 years old, or even older. This tree might have been the father of many of the other trees in this area, and continues to stand against time in one of the most impossible environments. A place called the white mountains. The yellow glow you see here is a combination of forest fire smoke and light pollution.
