I've seen many green flashes. A few years ago I had my camera with
its 8 frames per second motor drive at the ready for an especially good
one. There is a bit of camera shake due to the fact that I was on the ship
and the lens was slow, but I was able to capture the sun as it went from yellow
to green to blue/violet. It was the neatest "green flash" that I've
seen.
Saipan was a particularly good place to observe them. From the
anchorage as 3rd mate I would often see them as the sun set. Near the
Northern Solstice the sun rose where I could watch it during the AM hours.
I would often see rising green flashes which is a bit more a trick since you
have to be looking exactly where the sun will rise at the correct time.
Here are small images of the flashes at sunset.
