METEOR ECHOES:
The US Air Force Space Surveillance Radar has been shut down, but we're still recording meteor echos.
How do we do it?
Radio engineer Stan Nelson uses a Yagi antenna in New Mexico to detect 54 MHz TV signals reflected from meteor trails. When a meteor passes over his observatory -- ping! -- there is an echo. It's the next best thing to a giant government radar!
