The electrophonic sound from a meteor is a rare, mysterious, and poorly understood natural phenomenon. Investigations done so far suggest the ELF/VLF radio waves as a source of this sound, but many other questions about the ELF/VLF emission and its transformation into sound lack satisfactory explanation. Thus, it is not surprising that most of our knowledge about the phenomenon is still based on eyewitness reports. The purpose of the Global Electrophonic Fireball Survey (GEFS), accessible at http://gefs.ccs.uky.edu, is to collect these reports and provide a more systematic approach in the study of this phenomenon with a possibility for more extended activities. Due to the rareness of these sounds, contributions from experienced meteor observers are essential for this study.
