Ironclad
It's possible I suppose. Though it did appear to be several hundred feet up and falling, not re-entering. I've also seen a green one, just like that! That was an astonishing sight, a firework/fireball. Amazing huh
I've seen meteors "falling" as they run out of puff at the end of their entry ...neatest was a small purple one that just tumbled down vertically then went winked out - it's very hard to judge how far away these events are. The earth grazer I saw was reported all over the eastern north American seaboard.
Apparently purple is calcium - it really sticks in my memory as I was waiting at a very long stoplight that was located in a rural area and happened to be looking in the correct direction to see the tumble. Normally meteors are hard to see from a moving vehicle tho the best night I had I saw several fireballs on the way out to the sailplane port I use as my viewing area.
Since there was a fair bit of ambient light from the intersection the meteor would have been pretty bright but the colour and tumbling motion plus falling straight down really stuck as an image.
Now of course it "might" have been some other phenom like a dying firework but there was no other indication of that. I mentally said "cool" ...then the light finally changed

I think being a lifelong twitcher it's just training that you notice movement out of the corner of your eye or in your FoV and that makes spotting meteors easier.
But as for supernatural ,....nah ......but superb natural phenom ......a meteor shower with fireballs ranks right up there.
Being in one, 40 km out on the Great Barrier Reef and watching the remains of Halley's Comet put on a show ranks right up there for me as a life event.......with the Magellenic clouds as a backdrop.
