I find the notion of electrophonic sounds associated with meteor disintegration fascinating. When I was twelve or so, a few of my friends and I stayed up and watched a meteor shower. (The Perseids, I believe?) I recall one particular meteor that broke up. It was bright, vibrant. And I recall a distinct whooshing, crackling sound, like a firework, and then a pop as the bolide exploded. On reflection, I knew logically that I couldn’t be hearing something so far away simultaneously with seeing it, but my two friends also heard it. Strange stuff.
