(meteorobs) Electrophonic phenomena
This was a thread discussed only late last year on our list... Basically, there
have been sounds recorded SIMULTANEOUSLY with bright fireballs for many years:
these are difficult to explain, as fireballs are witnessed anywhere from 30 to
1000 km distant, and so sound could NEVER travel fast enough from the meteor
itself to the hearer to appear simultaneous. So what are these "anomolous"
sounds? One possible mechanism is called "electrophonics". Here is a post from
last early December, which gives a short description of this theory:
