If it describes a meteorite grazing the atmosphere leaving behind a trail a vapor and fire then I'd think, it being a Sumerian observation, this would be more relevant to texts like "Lamentations over the Destruction of Ur" where such "evil winds" are described as being the cause of the complete destruction of this sumerian city (well, that, and the actions of the gods involved).
