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.
