Got word on this recent sightinhg/recording of a meteor over Maryland. Some 300 reports on it. One guy reports hearing a hissing sound which reminds me in my early years of stargazing in Kansas (1958 - 1969) of hearing two meteors on separate occassions. Never have heard that hissing from a meteor since. I do remember I had my doubts even before my first "hissing meteor" when I read about other observers reporting such an occurrance in a Sky & Telescope magazine I believe somewhen around 1959 - 1961. Wish I still had that issue. http://cosmiclog.nbcnews.com/_news/2013/03/23/17421804-reports-about-east-co... Tom Sevcik
