My eyes are not going to be good enough to identify the ISS.

there should be something that leads to Venus, because every time someone asks me about that really bright thing they saw, it was Venus.

the lightweight question is how do I identify astronauts waving with the naked eye.
the advanced question is how do we get more blinkenlights on the ISS

If you can't tell if astronauts are waving at you, that means you don't know what it is, making it a UFO

Interesting that the one that does NOT end in an explosion is a "fireball."

D&D has clearly warped my understanding.

Glowing methane or another type of pollution. Bioluminescence, probably closer than you realise. Lensing artifact created by your camera, light reflected on a cloud. Glowing plasma generated by tectonic forces!
