There have been many people who spoof the idea. It is very common to hear the Aurora, directly under the Aurora, along the south coast of Hudson's Bay at say Bear Island or where I once lived at Great Whale River, Poste de la Baleine. It was so common the local natives never considered it unusual at all, they even had a word for it. Second I read that occasionally those using parabolic mirror reflector microphones for listening for WWII airplanes occasionally where able to co-ordinate optical meteor sightings with aural results. The reference was obscure, but probably could be reproduced with some effort. [Late bit, I saw this reference in an R. V. Jones report, and you already know who he is of course] Larry VA3LK ex VE8PQ, 3C2TQ (1967) amongst many many calls hi.
