You can indeed "hear" meteors at radio frequencies. As meteors burn up in
the upper atmosphere, they leave behind a trail of ions, which radio waves
can then reflect off of.

The International Meteor Organization has a wb page where they describe
how to observe meteors by radio:

This is probably a great place to start learning from!

Thanks for writing!
