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.
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
