Sound of meteorite striking Earth caught on doorbell camera
A doorbell camera has captured the remarkable moment a meteorite struck the ground outside a home, scattering dust and producing audible impact sounds—a historic first, according to University of Alberta scientist Chris Herd.
In July 2024, Laura Kelly and her partner Joe discovered the rock outside their home on Prince Edward Island, Canada, marking the province's first recorded meteorite fall.
The meteorite left a small dent in the walkway and the rock was confirmed to be ordinary chondrite, the most common type of space rock to strike Earth.
