Here is a photograph of a fireball visible during the Geminid Meteor shower of mid-December, seen above Mount Balang in China. In the upper portion of this photograph, the three stars that make up Orion's Belt shine brightly. Also, Sirius, the brightest star in the night sky is visible near the center of the image. This fireball, like the majority of all others, flashed for a mere second as it crossed the night sky.
