In a remarkable event captured on home security footage, a meteorite crashed onto the driveway of a Canadian couple's home, marking the first time both the visual and audio of such an impact have been recorded.
Doorbell cameras aren’t just for busting home invaders and porch pirates. A Ring camera captured the sound of a meteorite crash-landing near a house in Prince Edward Island, Canada, marking the first time this interstellar noise had been recorded alongside video footage.
A meteorite crash-landed on his home’s walkway. Hoping to confirm what he saw on his camera, Velaidum sent his home security video and pictures to Chris Herd, an expert in meteorites at the University of Alberta. Herd confirmed that it was indeed a meteorite and that it was a history-making moment.

Last summer, a couple in Canada returned home from walking their dogs to find a pile of debris outside their home, which turned out to be from a meteorite — and it was all recorded on their security camera.
"No other meteorite fall has been documented like this, complete with sound," says Dr. Chris Herd, a meteorite expert from the University of Alberta.
The researcher says the meteorite likely broke off from an asteroid between Mars and Jupiter. We often see them speed across our. Skies, but in Canada, only about 70 meteorites have been recovered.
Herd discovered that the sample was chondrite, the most common type of space rock that strikes Earth, and that it likely originated from the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. The footage is believed to be the first time that both sound and visuals of a meteorite strike have ever been recorded. Herd told CBC News
The meteorite, collected by a Japanese Antarctic research expedition, is a scientifically important material containing minerals that indicate that there was water on Mars in the past, ministry ...
The contrast between two clusters of marsquakes has led two scientists to suspect the internal structure of the Red Planet is quite different between the northern and southern hemispheres. If so, this would be crucial,
It’s divided into sections with names like “Lunar Lunch” and “Extraterrestrial Dinner,” because why settle for boring old “appetizers” and “entrees” when you can have “Martian Munchies” and “Cosmic Main Courses”? The “Lunar Lunch” section is a treasure trove of out-of-this-world delights.
