(meteorobs) mythology

[Dan Wright]

I might likewise be responding a bit off target for what you're seeking. If 
by mythology you include the Old Testament, several authors have competently 
portrayed  phenomena described there, including fireball-type events. These 
books are found in either the UFO or religion section of a bookstore. The 
authors date back to Reverand Billy Graham, the Christian crusader, and his 
1960s book, "God Drives a Flying Saucer." For a worldwide search of reported 
meteor-like phenomena, I'd suggest a word search under "myth," "ancient," 
"meteor" and perhaps several other words of your choosing.
