On April 21st, 2012, the Lichfield Radio Observatory captured radio signals from the Lyrid meteor shower. Despite a frequency drift, tuning into Graves Radar at 143.050MHz revealed an increase in signal strength. The data, although not typical of meteors on Spectrum Lab, offered intriguing insights. This study involves comparing the observed signals with internet-sourced data and human voice traces picked up by a laptop microphone.
