It also is able to be seen hitting the ground, so I'm not sure why they chose to only mention the audio.
Because this is possibly the first known time we have recorded audio of a meteorite hitting the ground, but it's not the first time we have recorded the vision of a meteorite hitting the ground.
Sounds like a meteor hit Earth, saved you a click
thank you guy
One of the perks of having so darn many cameras everywhere - we get to capture rarely recorded events like this regularly.
And yet still no ghost, aliens, yeti, etc.
If only people realized how they need to betray their intellectual integrity to believe in any of those.
American doorbell cams are the new Russian dashcam. Only main difference is that American doorbell cams are directly connected to the cloud/police.
I know you are speaking in general about rare things but this specific instance it said it was an historic first. That’s wild
What's truly wild is a news source providing the video at the top of the story without any overlays, talking heads or extraneous crap. Astonishing.
Thanks, you (what's the opposite of saving a click?)!
I'm not on my usual device so I don't know if adblock would have helped, but that BBC shithole did have a 30 second unskippable ad for a 10 second video.

I read "bullshit" as "bullet". I need to go to sleep.
Yet oddly it made sense
Imagine that causing your death. Wild.
I'm surprised it didn't make a bigger hole in their bricks.
Most meteors that reach all the way to the surface are really small. Bigger impacts are rare, buy not impossible.
still i bet it would absolutely suck to get hit by that
Well, bullets are pretty small, but that’s not going to help when they travel so fast. Same applies to flying rocks too.
Meteorite goes Bish!
Terrifying
Hopefully, we will not need a Ripley soon.
Are we sure that isn't something that fell off of an airplane?
The article is three short paragraphs and has the answer at the bottom.
If people cannot be bothered to read beyond headlines we are truly fucked.
brother, we are truely fucked. you can remove the "if"
tested as ordinary chondrite, the most common type of space rock to strike Earth.
You mean like the front falling off?
