Interesting.
What effect does it have?
Radio propagation in the upper atmosphere (the ionosphere) is affected by what is called ionization. The sun’s rays increase and decrease at times, that changes the ionization level.
The radio waves transmitted from the surface of the earth deflect/refract back from the ionized layer back to another area on the earth.
The meteors breaking up into small particles upon entry near our atmosphere causes the ionization level to increase greatly. Similar to the reflection caused by aluminum chafe from military aircraft when it is fired to hide the aircraft from radar. Like throwing dust in your enemies eyes.
