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.

Sound and video of a meteorite was caught by a Ring doorbell camera in the Atlantic Canada province of P.E.I. last July. Scientists believe it’s the first footage of its kind.

A doorbell camera in Prince Edward Island records the first-ever documented sights and sounds of a meteorite impact, marking a milestone in scientific observation. The meteorite, later named the Charlottetown Meteorite after being identified as an ordinary chondrite,

Luckier still, his home security camera caught both video and audio of the meteorite's crash landing. Scientists believe it could be the first time that both sound and visuals of a meteorite's strike have ever been recorded.

Home video and audio of a meteorite crashing into the sidewalk outside a Canadian man’s home is believed to be the only recording of its kind.

About two minutes after a P.E.I. man left his home to go for a walk with his wife and their dogs, a space rock hurtling toward Earth crashed onto the path where he had been standing.
