Honestly, I preferred the one without the lens flare (?) and the curved path
does not look very realistic, IMHO.

Hmmm, I agree about the lensflare, but I think the curved path, although not
realistic,
makes things a bit more interesting.  And if it's not an asteroid falling down to
earth,
but a spaceship entering our atmosphere (don't forget it's inspired by HE Day's
animation,
where this sort of effect is used for the fighters entering the atmosphere), then the
curved path, imho, looks a lot better than a straight path.

I think the lens flare is good. When something enters the atmosphere it usually
looks like a star. Maybe its just a bit to big.

I think it's a bit to static.  It should, I don't know, maybe rotate a bit, or flicker
some.
Anyway, no more Great Balls Of Fire.  I think you've had enough of that :)

I don't think I've had enough of fireballs yet, as I've yet to see a good one
done completely in Pov-Ray 3.5.

very artistic, and wonderful colours - think the lens flare would be better
if it faded out

also how about a different path, and perhaps some camera motion, try to give
some impression of speed - perhaps whizzing past the camera (which then
judders slightly) etc etc

tnx.
That might be a good idea, but I'm tired of Great Balls Of Fire, so I'm not gonna try
it.

that wouldn't work with the shader.  I tried it, but it didn't look good.
Shaders aren't the perfect way to create smoke, but they are fast compared to media.
