Clear skies all!

Subject: [IMO-News] the Global Electrophonic Fireball Survey

Dear meteor observers,

The upcoming Leonids are a good occasion to start with 
the systematic survey for still unexplained phenomenon of 
the electrophonic sounds from bright meteors.

These sounds are heard simultaneously with the meteors, 
(electrophonic fireballs), which is not possible to explain
by the acoustic propagation of sound.

Since the electrophonic fireballs are a very rare event,
with unpredictable time and location of appearance,
the Center for Computational Sciences at University of 
Kentucky has initiated the Global Electrophonic Fireball
Survey (GEFS) project: 

http://gefs.ccsdot ukydot edu

The goal of GEFS is to collect witness reports by amateur and
professional astronomers from all around the world and start 
with systematic analysis of this phenomenon.

More information about the electrophonic sounds, historical records 
of these sounds, and electrophonic sound report form, 
can be found on the above website.

We wish you a clear sky and many bright meteors!

Sincerely,
Dejan Vinkovic
