It's possible that the fireball could have been a fragment from a comet, but fireballs are more commonly associated with meteors or space debris. Comets are icy bodies that orbit the sun, and while they can leave trails of debris that Earth passes through, causing meteor showers, they usually don't create fireballs themselves unless a fragment of the comet breaks off and enters Earth’s atmosphere.
