I live in the dark skies area in the Scottish Borders so have seen some unbelievable shooting stars/meteors but never heard one till about two minutes ago, I couldn't believe it so came in and googled if it was possible, this thing was massive and left a trail,not the usual trail directly behind it but one that stayed in the sky after it burnt out, it made a sound like gas escaping, like opening a bottle of irn bru slowly, ABSOLUTELY AMAZING

∙ 8y agoUsually not very far. Most meteorites are fairly small when they reach the air and will usually make no more than a loud "thud" when they hit the ground. A larger meteorite would be much louder and could be heard many miles away. It would not be the sound of the impact itself you hear, but rather the sonic boom as it passes through the air.
