I sometimes look up at the sky. It seems like almost everyone I look for more than ten seconds I see a shooting star. I’ve seen three fireballs and I’m sure they are fireballs but it seems like something super rare.

Yes

When the fireball changed from blue to green, I could see a ring like an explosion and then it went into a smaller ray of light and disappeared what seemed to be straight down into the ground
