One last (?) comment regarding bolide;
Yes it comes from the Latin, and is really a French word, used in France in
relation to racing cars.
And it really should be pronounced just like solid.

Hello Everyone,
The term meteor refers to the light phenomenon as an object from space
enters the Earth's atmosphere. What is the proper term for the object
itself?
A meteoroid is an object in space. Is it still called a meteoroid when it
enters the Earth's atmosphere?
