For the first time in history, it was possible to record the sound of a meteorite colliding with the Earth.. And this happened by accident thanks to a camera on the door of an ordinary residential building in Canada.

Joe Velidum and his partner Laura, who live on Canada's Prince Edward Island, were alarmed when they discovered star-shaped dust and damage to their driveway outside their home last July. After checking the doorbell camera, they noticed an incredible moment when a stone appeared out of nowhere and fell onto the path, scattering debris around, writes Metro.

After watching the video, Joe Velidum and Laura realized it wasn't just thugs who threw a rock into their yard.. They collected as much debris as they could find, but were only able to find about seven grams of crumbled rock..

The collected samples were sent to the curator of the meteorite collection at the University of Alberta, Chris Gerd, who confirmed that these pieces of rock were in fact a meteorite.

Scientists say it was not only the first-ever recorded meteorite to land on Prince Edward Island, but it was also the first time the sound of a meteorite hitting Earth was captured on camera..

Joe Velidum said he never thought his doorbell camera, used to monitor home deliveries, would be able to capture such a miracle..

" No other meteorite impact has been documented like this one, complete with sound. This adds a whole new dimension to the natural history of the island,” said Chris Gurd.

The scientist added that meteorites typically enter the Earth's atmosphere at speeds of about 60,000 km/h before slowing down to their terminal speed..

And this piece of space rock was probably moving at about 200 km/h when it crashed into the ground.. This means that Joe was very lucky that he had left the house to walk his dogs a few minutes earlier..

This is a new sample from space. It's from the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. “He has come a long way to Earth,” Chris Gurd summed up the rare find..
