Fire-from-the-sky narratives can generate testable geomythology questions, but event identification requires source provenance and independent physical evidence.
Answer / theory: No by themselves. They can suggest a research question, but physical evidence is needed. What supports it: Meteors and airbursts are real, and some traditions describe striking sky-fire imagery. What is weak or disputed: Most myths lack precise dates, locations, diagnostic markers, and independent physical confirmation. Evidence level: Plausible but Unproven.
