We must remember that each days occur some bolids as
the Full Moon, naturally in a single point of the Earth
we can see a similar bolid only one time in some years,
in general we not known this bolids because they occur
on the oceans, on the deserts, etc., sometime a group
of bolids, with in general a sporadic origin, occur on 
Countries with many inabitants then we can read of they 
on the newpapers or in Tv, in Internet, etc.
In reality the number of big bolids (sporadic) it's
during the entire year near costant, only when there
are meteor storms we see a biggest number of  big
bolids.
Best greetings.
