Alan:

I was very convinced I heard it "swoosh" by at the time,
but being a level headed skeptical sort of person, knew it wasn't possible
to have heard the actual meteor entry itself

There have been many reports of people hearing Aurora.  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]
