Re: (meteorobs) Cloudy fireball detections!
As this is a very hot object, the thermal trace can be detected by a
radiometer. A radiotelescope working as a radiometer can detect these
fireballs. This is my trial for years now and I explain the theory at
http://web.wanadoodot be/merlin/meteor.htm
Also subsonic sounds can be heard and so can be detected. This is another
part of the job.
Be happy,
