That's what astronomers throw up after a night on the tiles.
I used to go fishing a few times a week years ago and 50% of the time I went at night. Some of the places we went had pretty much no light pollution so you could see the sky clearly. I used to sometimes look up at the stars and would see shooting stars regularly. Sometimes a few over a 5 minute period.
This, I've see loads out fishing any place where there is no light pollution is best for viewing.

I see little guys all the time, also. But two nights ago I did get to witness a real fireball. Watched it turn from yellow to orange to green (eventually), before it dropped out of sight behind my neighbour's house. I would say I was able to watch it for about 8 seconds. I've probably seen 2 or 3 of those in my lifetime. Always impressive.
I know it struck ground somewhere, but I didn't hear anything on the news about damage from it.

could have been Aliens trying to shoot you from their spacecraft, missing you as Joey forgot to calibrate the lazer array. You just dont know mate.
