Of possible interest to radio meteor observers:

Here are some video/radio examinations of an August 22, 2009 fireball 
with a complex light curve.  This meteor may have produced a perceptible 
direct emission that can be distinguished from background sferics but it 
is difficult to say. I have magnified the meteor in the VLF/ELF movie 
only for better examination. ( Some sferics may indeed be be meteor 
generated but this is challenging to prove.)

Movies are in .mp4 format.
