>>When you refer to hearing meteor and seeing them simultaneously,  there are three possibilities.   If you are talking about a sonic boom the answer is obvious that light travels faster than sound. <<

I've seen two of these in my life.

>>If you are referring to RF by radio you stand a chance of catching them simultaneously. <<

Apparently a mighty good chance. :o)  I've probably heard a few thousand of these as well as seeing them simultaneously.

>>However if you are referring to the ground sounds that accompany some fireballs,  your odds of catching this is apparently very low. <<

I've never heard such an event despite visually seeing and recording over 400 fireballs.
