Revelation 8:6-12

6 Now the seven angels who had the seven trumpets prepared to blow them.

7 The first angel blew his trumpet, and there followed hail and fire, mixed with blood, and these were thrown upon the earth. And a third of the earth was burned up, and a third of the trees were burned up, and all green grass was burned up.

8 The second angel blew his trumpet, and something like a great mountain, burning with fire, was thrown into the sea, and a third of the sea became blood. 9 A third of the living creatures in the sea died, and a third of the ships were destroyed.

10 The third angel blew his trumpet, and a great star fell from heaven, blazing like a torch, and it fell on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water. 11 The name of the star is Wormwood.[b] A third of the waters became wormwood, and many people died from the water, because it had been made bitter.

12 The fourth angel blew his trumpet, and a third of the sun was struck, and a third of the moon, and a third of the stars, so that a third of their light might be darkened, and a third of the day might be kept from shining, and likewise a third of the night.

and there followed hail and fire,

You would expect this from a comet and/or meteorite. Frozen ice and fire (reentry heat) would normally be considered incongruous except in this instance.

Again a meteorite comes to mind, with reentry combustion.

a great star fell from heaven, blazing like a torch

Stars are self luminous so this is a puzzler to me. I'll have to check the commentaries to see what they say. Even a small "star" would consume the earth into oblivion.
