On an ordinary day on Prince Edward Island, something extraordinary. *** sound never recorded before. Captured clearly in daylight. The smash steps away from Jo Vla's house. What hurtled from the sky missed hitting the homeowner by about 2 minutes. It landed right between my legs where I was standing. He'd left to walk his dogs. When he got back, all he saw was *** mess. We had no idea what it was, um, and we were cleaning it up and throw it away. But *** neighbor heard *** crash and questioned, was this *** meteorite? The homeowners wondered too when they saw their camera and sent photos to *** meteorite expert at the University of Alberta who happened to be on his way to PEI for *** family vacation. Chris Herd confirmed that yes, this was *** meteorite, the first ever recorded to land on PEI, but also *** first for the world. The first time that we've ever had *** recorded fall of *** meteorite. Hitting the surface of the earth with sound included. The sound of *** space rock about the size of *** kiwi shattering on impact. When I showed it to my wife, she said it sounded like icebreaking. Like if you took *** chunk of ice and just smashed it, right? It's remarkable because it's never really been heard before. The researcher says the meteorite likely broke off from an asteroid between Mars and Jupiter. We often see them speed across our. Skies, but in Canada, only about 70 meteorites have been recovered. Rarely do they hit *** structure like when this piece hit *** home in Edmonton or this one crashed through *** ceiling in Golden BC. This homeowner is glad he moved and also in awe. We need to be reminded that the lives that we lead are just *** small part of this. I don't know, celestial drama that's so much bigger than we can possibly imagine. And so what are the chances, *** question perhaps for the universe.
