do your Magnets a BIG Favor and put them in a plastic bag 1st, then it's very easy to clear the items from the magnet onto a sorting area, so so so much easier then in the video.
I actually did find a meteorite about half pound meteorite in my yard by complete accident here on Linececum Village rd in Louisiana! Its the 4th to ever be found in Louisiana.
For me, not so picky, I think that's pretty cool. I wonder what size it would need to be to see its entry. I saw a meteor enter and hit the side of Mt. Rainier while ascending - about 4 AM. And fortunately I wasn't the only one in our climbing party to see it.
I think I found a small Meteor fragment years ago. It’s solid black with some Sparkle an is HEAVY for its small size. It’s Not magnetic but sounds a little metalish when tapped on. It didn’t match or Near match Any Other kind of Rock around where I found it, it was the ONLY Black Rock around.
i may of found a few meteroites or asteroids but i need too make sure that they are what they are can you reccomend a book that can positivly identify them and tell me what too do too identify them
I have a item that was detected by my metal detector that is not magnetic. How can I determine what it is? It is heavier than you would think for it’s size.
Most metals do not have strong magnetic attractions to magnets(or are magnetic at all) so unfortunately what you found is most likely a dense rock with some kind of metal deposit in it that your metal detector picked up.
So this opens the possibility of mining ancient building gutters (the Vatican, Castles, etc.) for stone and iron meteorites. Some may not show the characteristic surface since they are bits of an exploded meteor?? And tell that guy to further his drainspout away from his house's foundation.
Tom Jones I would assume, that’s why he said to look under a microscope, for markings that world be evidence for entering the atmosphere under high heat
Jason Owen not fully true, when a meteor hits the atmosphere, it breaks apart into very tiny flakes, and those flakes break more, turning into a powder which naturally loses maximum velocity, a “rock” would definitely break through the roof though
Just to add on, I have actually seen this happen, I was looking at the night sky and saw a shooting star(very bright) and then around 30 or less seconds later, I saw another, going in the same direction but less bright, making me assume that it was a piece that broke off and slowed down quite a bit
Just to add on, ask NASA Here's an article No. At some point, usually between 15 to 20 km (9-12 miles or 48,000-63,000 feet) altitude, the meteoroid remnants will decelerate to the point that the ablation process stops, and visible light is no longer generated. This occurs at a speed of about 2-4 km/sec (4500-9000 mph). From that point onward, the stones will rapidly decelerate further until they are falling at their terminal velocity, which will generally be somewhere between 0.1 and 0.2 km/sec (200 mph to 400 mph). Moving at these rapid speeds, the meteorite(s) will be essentially invisible during this final “dark flight” portion of their fall. 200-400mph yeah shoot a blunderbuss at your roof and see what happens
I'll take it! You live near Minneapolis? I'll be at the Starbucks coffee in downtown Minneapolis this Tuesday sometime between 9 and 11 pm. I'd really love that. I'll buy you a coffee!
A small magnetic stone that appears to have a fusion crust is unlikely to be a meteorite. You simply don't have enough evidence. At least do the nickel test. Did you see chondrules or metal under the microscope? I am very skeptical of your conclusions.
mike curran I cut a rock in one inch diameter. I looked under a microscope and see red. And also gold and silver. The rock is magnetic. I found it in Chicago. No other rocks were nearby It caught my eye. How do I get it analyzed and if so who would buy something like this. I’m dying to see if this is a real find
I’m with you on that, I think there mostly a 5th of a millimetre an there’s so many other magnetic things that are identical to the eye you basically need a lab to confirm them
Meteorites are believed to strike the earth's surface only about five to ten times per year. Therefore, I think this video may be overestimating how easy it is to find meteorites.
+Physics Videos by Eugene Khutoryansky No, you are wrong. Meteor "showers" happen only a few times a year. But actual meteorites are falling down to earth all the time, some you can see but most you can't because they are too small.
+Physics Videos by Eugene Khutoryansky What he said^ Also, even if your statement were true, the earth has existed for millennia. A handful of meteor showers per year over the course of 4 billion+ years adds up very quickly.
I am very sure that what you think are micrometeorites are BMS or black magnetic spheres. They have all the features you describe but are very terrestrial.... do yourself a favor and read Jon Larsons book In Search Of Stardust before you continue to misinform
Quite often from old metal works and welding sparks/slag I've found loads near. Edit: meteorites often land around and upwards of 300mph it's probably going to go through the roof like a bullet
Great content--horrible videography! Lucky for you, Scientific American -- being almost 2016 -- most people are use to garbage shooting quality and editing.

I watched this video because my dad told me if I found a meteorite he would get me a flamethrower (VERY long story)
{xD xD xD xD
I have time xD
I found a fucking meteorite
I just want to support the great parenting skills .
I found a meteorite , can I use the flamthrower on.weekends ?
For 7 years ago this was well edited and great footage

was it worth anything?

I used this trick to find a meteor in my toilet bowl.
Can meteorites be made like Glass - Black glass with colours of the rainbow reflecting in them?
thanks - I found it n the middle of the road on a Saturday morning - a Cal-du-sac, so no passing traffic.
I went to some corners of my house and found extremely small fragments that fit all the meteorite criteria.
Has anyone ever found a meteor fused in asphalt?
can I see it post a video about it
So this means were constantly breathing this meteor dust as well
We are made of stardust lol
It turns into bugers
@@kjam87gxp , so it's buger food?
I found a Meteorite in stream gravel pile - weighed 6 oz
Wow how did you know what it was. Did you have a magnet or metal detector. Thanks
That's amazing! Thanks for that vid mate. Every kid should know about that! This would be a very smart activity at school too.
65 million years ago?????????????
Anybody Remember The Joe Dirt Meteorite? lmao
That might just be iron
I don’t have a backyard, I live in apartment

99% of meteorites will be magnetic. If it doesn’t pass the magnet test, then it would be nearly insane to believe it’s a meteorite.
@@alonelyspaceman 3-4% of meteorites have not been magnetic.
@@dougburlingame1645 that’s more unlikely than you think, especially considering how rare any kind of meteorite is to find.
I found a 5 gram meteorite in my backyard ☄☄☄
Where do I go in Burlington iowa to get it checked to make sure that it's a meteorite
Try matt jokel in lincoln nebraska
Very nice video. Great content
i may of found a few meteroites or asteroids but i need too make sure that they are what they are can you reccomend a book that can positivly identify them and tell me what too do too identify them
the the uhh uhh meteorite uh and uh backyard uh uh screws uh and 69 years ago uh and uh uh astroid uh yeah

They fall everyday it depends on size

Wait, what? He's a video game developer!
Does Richard Garriot thinks he looks so cool with that very long rat tail. I want to cut it off and throw it away.
you should accept people as they are. just like you want to be accepted for who you are and looklike. Or else: you're a pancake head!
But if he takes out the hair tie of his rat tail, his hair gets ratted up. So its ratty either way. Jk.
He'd say the same about your giant sideburns.
Says the one with a 6" trash stache...
Why doesn't he just glue the magnet onto a stick
Very interesting
Don't shingles have particles on them that stick to magnets?
Tom Jones I would assume, that’s why he said to look under a microscope, for markings that world be evidence for entering the atmosphere under high heat
If a meteorite lands on your roof it'll just go straight through regardless of it's size, that's going to probably be planted or just welding slag
Jason Owen not fully true, when a meteor hits the atmosphere, it breaks apart into very tiny flakes, and those flakes break more, turning into a powder which naturally loses maximum velocity, a “rock” would definitely break through the roof though

Comenters I found a meteoriod what should I do with it:
A - sell it
B-keep it
C-give it to a friend
Keep it
Sell it. Unless you already make bank. Keep it.
I want to sell my meteorite stones
Keep it i love space its my dream for a metor
I'll take it! You live near Minneapolis? I'll be at the Starbucks coffee in downtown Minneapolis this Tuesday sometime between 9 and 11 pm. I'd really love that. I'll buy you a coffee!
a random guy shows up so he has someone to talk at xD what good video tho
What are those threads on your Right hand wrist ?
WHAT ARE THOSE
This works! I found an sub-gram meteorite this way.Very cool.
1:37 That is a flipping TOOL, not an asteroid! Why are magnetic metal alloy tools falling out of the sky???
Bir Kit they made a tool of a meteorite when stones where ”trendy” lol
Birkit 11 y’all dumb that is a dinosaur bone
i'm waiting for the next big one

Ann Johnson hello and did you find someone to check it
I’m with you on that, I think there mostly a 5th of a millimetre an there’s so many other magnetic things that are identical to the eye you basically need a lab to confirm them
It's not that small it's about medium sized
🤔
An ice period have cause the extinction of the dinosaures
So shall I search where there is soil only
My grandma has had her house for 52 years and she doesn't have gutters where do I find them
Thekidnextdoor you best option would be going around the perimeter or the house, where rain might pour off a roof
I have many meteorite stone in my home
I have meteorites at home
Jealous. I've always wanted one
If anyone wants, please contact my gmail as shown above

+Umi's Field Day That's correct but irrelevant. This method of finding them is to find recent meteors that have landed in your homes gutter
no, over 300 kilograms hit a week, its just they are mostly the size of a grain of sand
actually around 500 meteorites of descent size hit the earth every year.
I found rock in my stool
I had one that was 4cm
This dudes hair .....rat tails were never popular man! Good Content though!
Next time place a plastic bag over your magnet genius!
What? I have a pile of this black stuff that came from my gutter
That’s probably your grandma’s ashes... your parents probably dumped em out the window.
I dont have a backyard
How large to they need to be to sell for money🤑
de pins
GET A JOB HIPPIE!
Thumbs up for the rat tail!

I am sorry but you have 0 iq.
Bruh micrometeorites are a real thing, how are people this dumb.
@@WatcherLater Yeah. Over 3 years ago my comment was dumb. Sure they may be real. But I highly doubt you’d know where they are.
@@Blueknight330 I guess you've gotten a little smarter. They are everywhere, 800 tons a day is enough to find them everywhere.
