First-ever Meteorite Crash Caught On Camera With Sound In Canada

[jeff of pa]

"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.

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.

This is NOT the first time a meteorite has been recorded. Numerous fragments of a meteorite broke up and struck a railroad station outside HOlbrook AZ decades ago. Security, which wasn't as good as it is today, still picked up the strikes. A camera outside the station for security showed the little meteorites hitting the roof and area, and the sounds were loud. SO this is not the first one. But hey - I don't know if Holbrook was either. It's just today anything that happens is always claimed to be the best in history, the worst in history, or the first in history. Not just another in time, but the first. NOT reality!!

The Holbrook meteorite shower was certainly a witnessed fall (one of many) but, recorded on a security camera? I don’t think so. I’ve never seen any footage from that fall and, in any case, it was in 1912.

The first forerunner of security cameras was developed in 1927, but it was huge, heavy, and had no way to permanently record images. Security cameras as we know them didn’t exist until 1969.

Other meteor streaks have been recorded on camera before the Charlottetown meteorite on Prince Edward Island, but not capturing the actual impact, nor with the accompanying sound of the impact.

I may have posted this before, but my wife took this picture during the Quadrantid meteor shower in January 2013 over Rockland Lake, NJ. This is debris from the extinct comet that became the minor planet ‘2003 EH1’ in the last 500 years or so.

This meteor had decelerated, gone into ‘dark flight’ and was disintegrating to the extent that probably nothing more than tiny fragments and dust reached the ground.

What is dark flight? Is it particle not lighting up due to friction in atmosphere?

It's when the incoming meteoroid has been slowed by Earth's atmosphere and is then falling by gravitational pull alone. It's then sufficiently slow and has cooled to the extent that heat generated by ablation (not friction, which plays only a small part) and consequent light emission is no longer strong enough to produce a visible fireball or streak.

What you see in my wife's picture is a trail of debris from the disintegration of the meteor, but it's not glowing and would have been unseen if it had been night-time (the picture was taken at dusk). A little later, as it was beginning to get dark, she took other pictures of light streaks higher up in the atmosphere:
