Weird Time? ;)

I didn't know there was a "normal" time for fireballs to occur. Perhaps
you mean weird time for one to be "seen"? ;)

The "meteorite dropping" speculation is clear as speculation of course,
as most meteors and fireballs only appear to hit the ground or be closer
than they actually are.

Regards,
Eric
