I have heard only one meteor in my life. I was quite young and out with my older brother and his 4" SCT near Singleton, NSW. The meteor was bright and distinctly broke in two. I don't remember a sparkler noise, but I do remember a thunder noise that came after a delay. I was fairly young at the time but the memory has stuck. A bit scary when you are at a dark site as a kid!!
Incidently, the only recorded person or animal hit by a meteorite was the Nakhla dog in Egypt - vapourising the dog instantly, or so it is said.
