The formula of the Doppler effect of fireballs, which shows how the observational flux from fireballs would be expected, is presented. It shows, when the expansion speed is very large, a weak radiation at X-ray bands would be significantly enhanced to detectable levels and shifted to much higher bands to become a gamma-ray source; at the same time, the peak of the spectrum would shift to a much higher energy band as well.
