I guess that depends on how you define fireball
A fireball is another term for a very bright meteor, generally brighter than magnitude -4, which is about the same magnitude of the planet Venus in the morning or evening sky.

I am surprised NASA didn't see it coming

I'm not sure if it hit anywhere yet but they are still investigating it, it will probably take a few days to week to find it. Heck, it could be in the middle of an open field. Whoever finds it will be so lucky!

Ok this is ATS so i'm gonna go there... here's the thing.. the RAINBOW incident.. seems very odd esp since it occured just before the "meteorite" in question. Yet no one's around here seems to think it's odd and out of place? could the meteorite be the cover story for this one? After all you can only have so many exploding bunkers and space junk stories to go around.
I know nothing about beams and particle rays but COME ON! this one screams WEIRDNESS!!

ok it was not part of the teuroid meteor shower... according to NASA in Huntsville this was a meteorite that broke our atmosphere and produced a very loud sonic boom... they are estimating that it was the size of a nice boulder and streaked around 30 miles above the earth... thus the large number of sightings... They said they are having problems finding where is actually hit the earth.... I still say my backyard... I am so stoked about this... Nothing ever happens here in the woods.....
Yes the rainbow was something: there was no arc whatsoever it was just straight up and down.... I just kept looking at it since it was right in front of me on my drive home...edit on 30-10-2012 by bmck12 because: add information

the rainbow is weird because it was straight verticle.. as in NO ARC and no RAIN.
12 I saw a rainbow that was straight (not round)??
You probably saw a small section of the rainbow, maybe with the sun low in the sky. If the rain-producing storm was in the distance, you'd have seen a short vertical pillar, which is just the base of the rainbow where it intersects Earth.
