At a star party nearly 3 years ago(SPSP) a fireball was to be seen. As it broke up into 3 pieces, I heard the crackling noises. Unfortunately, I was not yet into meteorites so did not appreciate my good fortune at hearing it(I am deaf as a doornail)- I had assumed that the bolide must have been very close and the pieces may be relatively close. Poor note keeping meant that I do not know which of the WIDE field photos I was taking at the time contains this particular bolide
. Most of the photos taken that night had meteors on them (fisheye shots). Apparently, only a small percentage of people can hear the electrophonic hiss, generally assumed to be transmittion of RF frequencies from the bolide to nearby metal structures for retransmition and hence why the sound was heard at the same time as the bolide broke up. Hopefully there will be a next time and i can really appreciate it
