This is "Serendipitious Green Meteor", taken by Prasenjeet Yadav in October, 2015. The town is Mettupalayam, in southern India. The meteor was captured entirely by accident; he'd set his camera to take 15-second exposures 10 seconds apart over the course of a night, and only afterwards discovered the meteor in one of them. The picture won an honorable mention in National Geographic's 2016 nature photographer of the year contest.

Looks more like alderaan just before the incident
If I’ve taken that shot, I would be parading it around in every damn gallery for the rest of my life.
Everybody gets a copie for Christmas.
If I'd taken that shot, it would be blurry, or ½ second too late.
Bit of copper in that one.
