Thankyou G.J. Drobnock.

 The real source of any VLF is (part) of the question.

 Absent a better explanation, those earlier views & similar for VLF are 
somewhat accepted.....but not by ALL.

Electron & Ion currents in motion thru the air can also create 
electromagnetic waves.

The "rarity" in electrophonic sounds heard can perhaps be better explained 
if it required being in or around a ground source rich in negative Ions or 
free electrons during the passage of a very bright fireball with a 
persistant trail of positive Ions effecting the local electrostatic field.

Were electrophonic sounds a result of tail plasma generated VLF 
propogation.... then it should not be such a "rare" occurance. It should be 
quite common.

My opinion. LarryStange
