There have been a number of fireballs reported in the U.S. also recently?

A FIREBALL blazed across the skies above Hertford on Sunday night.
The UFO sped across the sky at just after 8.30pm.
An eyewitness wrote in an online forum: "It travelled south and I tracked it for about two minutes. It was at quite a height, bright orange and had shots of what looked like orange flame that shot from the sides or top every now and then. As it got south of Hertford it went out of sight, either extinguished or to a height or at a distance where it could not be seen.
"There were no other lights with it such as you would normally expect on a plane. Sounds bonkers but I definitely saw it."
Another contributor speculated that the sighting was "an asteroid burning up in the atmosphere."
Malcolm Robinson, of Strange Phenomena Investigations, told the Herald: "In the main the vast majority of all UFO reports have identifiable solutions, as high as 95 per cent."
Commenting on the Hertford sighting he said: "It may well have been a fireball or meteorite burning up, although it may well be something very bizarre.
"Balls of light in the sky do give rise to what many people think might be UFOs.
"As I said 95 out of 100 turn out to be explainable, but it is the five per cent that are not that turn out to fascinating to myself and my colleagues.
