Stumbled on a video about musical gongs, and after watching this one in particular an idea came to mind, what if gongs were used in ancient times to replicate Heavenly sounds, or comets striking the atmosphere?
The guy in the video is grasping also little balls on a stick to produce those sounds, and he did not punch or hit the gong directly, but produce the effect by drawing a line on the gong's surface, so the association with the, more or less, linear path of a comet comes to mind...
A gong is a big metallic disk, and the Earth's atmosphere is in a way a big curved disk of ionized gases, from the point of view of a ball entering from outer space, so...
Seems also that gongs are ancient musical instruments too, mostly of Asian origin dating back to 3500 BC, there are Nepali gongs, Cambodian gongs, all quite old, so it could be quite a tradition going on.
