I believe you are thinking of Ball Lightning. Fireball is a broad term and could refer to the Sun, a star ( which the sun is) or even an explosive accident involving say, exploding fuel tanks- like a tanker. Ball Lightning is an energy-mass connundrum that is not entirely understood by science, nevertheless it exists and has been known to penetrate metallic structures llike building and aircraft walls- and the like, it is generally round(hence Ball) and can be about the size of a Basketball- and usually orange in color. The German term Kugvelblitz- literally Ball or Keg Lightning (or flash) is most accurate. Fireball would be Feuerball- a different word in German. Both have been associated with UFo phenomena- Good Hunting! or as the Navajo (bogus) cipher, went odhu N"ttinggo!
