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.

A camera in Canada captured the moment a meteorite struck the sidewalk in front of a house. The owner, Joe Velaidum, narrowly avoided tragedy. Scientists emphasize that it's a unique recording. Joe Velaidum from Marshfield,

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.

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 ...

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.

A home security camera captured the rare event. The homeowner narrowly escaped getting hit. “It probably would’ve ripped me in half.”

This is the first time the sound of a meteorite hitting Earth has been recorded, the University of Alberta said.
