And two  footnotes,  beginning in 1860 the interest in fireballs and
extreme meteors was conducted under the category of Luminous Meteors.
This included (1860) meteors that crackled and had an electrical(?)
presence from the observers perspective.

And 30 years later this was published:
"..... meteors are now (1894) universally accepted by astronomers as
small bodies traveling through space....orbiting the sun....striking the
earth's atmosphere.."
