"Fireballs occur every day over all parts of the Earth."
Sure, they do NOW, like in the last three or four years.
"Observing during one of the major annual meteor showers can increase your chance of seeing another one of these bright meteors."
I think that's very unlikely. I've been keeping an eye on NASA and others' reports of fireball events this year and it seems that most of the blazing bolides had trajectories and points of origin that did NOT fit with any known meteor shower.
"They are invisible below this altitude [5 miles] and cannot be seen as they basically free falling to the ground at 200mph."
Basically? Well, it's a wrap then!
Seriously, so little is known about this subject that the opinion of anyone who claims to know exactly 'what, why, how and where' regarding fireballs should be treated with caution.
"Very few meteors actually reach the ground as 99.99% completely disintegrate while still 10-20 miles up in the atmosphere."
99.99%, is that a fact?
