Ottawa: A surprising case has come to light in Canada. Here a rock has fallen from space in front of a house. A doorbell camera captured the incident. This is the first time that the sound of a meteor hitting the Earth has been recorded. The incident is of July 2024. Laura Kelly and Joe Valladium notice a mysterious sign outside their home in Prince Edward Island, Canada. After this he checked the recording of his ring camera. In it he saw a stone fall from the sky and explode with a cloud of dust. He collected 7 grams of material from the dusty rock and sent it to Dr. Chris Heard of the University of Alberta, where it was discovered that it was a space rock.
Ring bell cameras are reportedly recording many strange things, including ghosts and UFOs. But this is the first time a meteor hitting Earth has been recorded on camera. In July 2024, Laura Kelly and Joe Valladium were returning from walking their dog when they found a mysteriously shaped sign outside their home. On checking the camera, it was seen that a rock had fallen from the sky. The homeowners thought it might be a fragment of a meteorite, so they took it to University of Alberta meteorite curator Dr. Sent to Chris Hurd.

A pit formed in the ground
According to the Daily Mail report, Dr. Hurd said, ‘No other meteorite impact of this type has been documented, even with a recognizable sound. When the rock fell into his house, it moved so fast that the camera captured only one frame. When Dr. Hurd saw the samples, he realized that this was no ordinary stone. Fortunately, Dr. Hurd arrived at the site just 10 days after the stone fell. He noticed that a 2 cm X 2 cm hole had formed at the place where the stone had fallen.
The meteor covered a journey of 32 crore kilometers
With the help of Joe and Laurie, Dr. Heard collected 95 grams of asteroid material. It is being kept at the University of Alberta for further study. The stone is now called the ‘Charlotte Meteorite’ after the capital of Prince Edward Island. It is composed of chondrites which are the most common meteorites. Chondrite meteorites survived the formation of the Solar System about 4.5 billion years ago and have remained virtually untouched in the far reaches of space ever since. It is believed that this rock may have traveled a distance of 329 million km.
