I ended up with a case of insomnia last night. I woke up at 4:00 AM and couldn't get back to sleep. I took both fire files I mentioned earlier, worked on them a little, shrunk them down, applied them to a mesh. I rendered it to the PAR, and it's a pretty good representation of a fireball. I uploaded it to the forum along with a sample .fli file. The 3DS and support files are fireba.zip, and the animation should be firbal.zip. I don't know how long it'll take to clear. You aren't long distance. You could grab it off my system if you are interested. Otherwise someone might just need a meteor one of these days. They'll make a million dollars, and share their gratitude with me. Nah… I don't think so. Anyway, it's free. The tail flare elements could use a little cylindrical mapping adjustment.
