RE: (meteorobs) Re: [nhas] Did you hear any Leonids?



Even Leonid Fireballs overhead are ~ 80 km (50 miles) above you. At the horizon they are hundreds of km or miles away.

Tod:

They would still be at least 20 miles away, if they were glowing, so
probably the difference in altitude probably doesn't mean much.  But,
maybe atmospheric conditions have some effect, I don't know.  I once
was with a group of about 15 people when a bright fireball occurred.  One
woman in the group said that she heard a "hissing", but no one else,
including me, did.  It's a mystery, although there are a couple theories
floating around.
