"No other meteorite fall has been documented like this, complete with sound," says Dr. Chris Herd, a meteorite expert from the University of Alberta. Finding a meteorite anywhere in Canada is something of a rarity. Last July, the first one discovered in Prince Edward Island was extra special, as it is likely the first meteorite impact to ever be recorded with both video and sound! The Weather Network's Kim MacDonald has the story.

That's incredible that they got it all on camera, but then again, there's now more cameras recording anything and everything, and that number is likely to grow exponentially as time progresses.

If a person had been standing there when that thing struck, I'd suggest that any impact above the knee would probably cause life altering damage.
 

I saw a meteor in on second of November Tahiti IN 2015 I was a hotel pool and the light was so intense was the light shone like the sun through the clouds before I could fully turn around it exploded over horizon and heard the boom. It happens in mere seconds. So its totally awesome to see such a events caught on camera.

Tahiti meteor

Another time in Australia driving around a freeway I was in car with four others seen one tiny intense ball if light came down on the highway ahead of us in distance. did not hear an explosion. So it happens more often than people think. All over the globe. it happens so fast the two front saw it and I in middle seat in the back looking between the two in front seat. maybe 2 seconds. The two other said we was BS.

There is question has anyone been killed by meteorite?


“It's only been in the last half century or so that we've even realized that such a thing could happen.” However, researchers still have not found a single confirmed case of death by space rock.

However are their assumptions correct?

Other Researchers combing through the dusty archives from the Republic of Turkey found credible records of someone being killed by a falling meteorite in Sulaymaniyah in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq. On August 22, 1888, multiple documents found in the General Directorate of State Archives of the Presidency of the Republic of Turkey recorded that a meteorite hit and killed one man while paralyzing another.

The reason this event had not been discovered until now is that the documents were written in an old Ottoman-Turkish language which borrows from both Arabic and Persian and is extremely hard to translate.

Using a word-by-word translation method where they first translated documents into Turkish and then English, researchers Ozan Unsalan and Altay Bayatl from Turkey and meteorite expert Peter Jenniskens from the US found three separate letters describing the incident.

The documents, written by local authorities and sent to the government, described "a strong bright light was accompanied by smoke and traveled toward a village." The translation went on to say that meteorites fell for a period of about ten minutes "like rain." As an unfortunate consequence, one man was killed and the other was seriously injured. Also, crops were damaged in a manner consistent with a fireball shockwave, the researchers determined

But more importantly, the letters reported that meteorites were found on a hill near the village. The documents seemingly indicated—although the translation was not clear—that perhaps specimens of the meteorites were sent to the local government. But no further documentation of any specimens has been found so far.

So there you have it? :dontknow:

Russia got hit with meteorite in 2013

In 2013 the largest natural object to enter Earth’s atmosphere since Tunguska exploded over Chelyabinsk, Russia, producing around thirty times more energy than the atomic bomb that detonated at Hiroshima. Over 7,000 buildings were affected and 1,500 injured, though none from the rock itself but by indirect effects such as glass from shattered windows.

Perhaps a harsh reminder that will all our technology we are not the masters of our environment?
