"We have about 50% of the world's wealth but only 6.3% of its population. This disparity is particularly great as between ourselves and the peoples of Asia. In this situation, we cannot fail to be the object of envy and resentment. Our real task in the coming period is to devise a pattern of relationships which will permit us to maintain this position of disparity without positive detriment to our national security. To do so, we will have to dispense with all sentimentality and day-dreaming; and our attention will have to be concentrated everywhere on our immediate national objectives. We need not deceive ourselves that we can afford today the luxury of altruism and world-benefaction."
~ US State Department, 1948

definite assertions put out there by Robert Lunsford.
"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?
These are just from 2012:
