Twice in my life I have witnessed meteors break up as they streak across the sky. The most impressive one was near Singleton, NSW, in the 1980's (I was a little kid out with my bigger brother and his 4" SCT for a night of observing). There was even a thunder clap to accompany it after a fair delay. I will never forget it! Quite scary for a 10 year old in the dark in the middle of no where!
