(meteorobs) electrophonic meteors

[Peter Brunone]

	Has anyone ever made an effort to experience this, by having one
or more thin metallic substances (aluminum foil, paper clips, etc) on
hand while viewing a shower?  It seems like it would be pretty easy, and
well worth doing!
	Assuming we have clear skies in Dallas for the Geminids, maybe
I'll try this myself.  Any pointers would of course be appreciated.

I haven't heard of a report like this.  I have never heard them, but
have been in a group when one person reported hearing a sound with a
bright fireball but the rest of us didn't.

Clear skies,

experienced  that?  I know I haven't! >>
