A doorbell camera caught the moment when a meteorite impacted on the walkway of a home in Prince Edward Island, Canada, recording what is likely the world's first audio of a space rock impact.

Joe Velaidum and his partner, Laura Kelly, set out to walk their dog when their doorbell camera captured a meteorite striking their front walkway — where Velaidum had been standing moments before.

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

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.

Joe Velaidum's home security camera captured the instant a meteorite smashed against his home's brick walkway. The video is thought to be the first recorded sound of a meteorite's direct impact.

Splat! A meteorite impact recorded by a doorbell camera gave scientists a rare view of a space rock at the moment it hit Earth. The sound is like shattering glass.
