I have seen so many fireballs in my life. It’s almost comical. Every time I see one I come on here to see if there are any reports of it and nobody else ever seems to see them. I saw one about two months ago that was bright blue at about 5 o’clock in the morning on my way to the gym. I decided I wanted to start trying to report them because I feel like I’ve seen an unusual amount. This is the first time I’ve seen one that wasn’t blue or green and also the first time that I’ve seen it have a sparkler tail.
