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 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.

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,

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.

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

An expert says the meteorite would have been traveling about 124 miles per hour when it smashed into the walkway.

An object eight times the mass of Jupiter may have swooped around the sun, coming superclose to Mars' present-day orbit before shoving four of the solar system's planets onto a different course.

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

Throughout history, only a select few people who were in the right place at the right time could say they’ve heard the sound of a meteor hitting Earth. But that group is about to get a whole lot bigger after the phenomena was caught on camera.
