    Until instrumental hard evidence exists many physisists will remain
sceptical.  If you want to read more about this, do a search with "google"
for "meteor sounds".  Colin Keay from the University of Newcastle in NSW
Australia has been studying this for years.
    I had a report a week or so ago about a fireball that produced a
"whishing sound" that trailed the fireball like a jet plane noise.  The same
report said the fireball was as large as the rock you see entering the town
of Campbell River on Vancouver Island. With the number of sound reports over
the years one must keep an open mind on this.
