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

What we call falling stars are really just pieces of space debris or rock burning up as they enter the earth's atmosphere, so they are comparatively not very far away. We see it almost as it happens.
It means "falling", from the Arabic expression النسر الواقع (al-nasr-al-wāqiʿ) (the) falling (eagle).
You know, I bet meteorites DO make sounds (inaudible to the unaided ear), and I wonder if we could learn something interesting about them or about the atmosphere by attempting to listen in. I like this question.
