I have also experienced this, presumably upon coming into an unloaded chunk (it was not me who 'spawned' the fireball in the first place.

I think it should be noted that the fireball was not stationary, but moving slow, although a lot slower than it should have been.

Still affects 1.4.2 according to ticket linked in comment above.

This bug is present in Release 1.4.2

Comment by Aaron Opell [ 24/Oct/12 ]

I've found this on many multiplayer servers and in my singleplayer world when I went exploring in the nether

This glitch has been around for quite a while now. I know it happens in 1.3.x, i've seen videos about it.

It will also happen if a chunk unloads with a fireball moving in it.

This works in the pre-release.
