In 2022, I was working security at a music festival deep in the woods. Our setting was a 200 ft. wide, 1000 ft. long clearing in between two toes of footfills. I was sitting at our tent next to our medic at 2 am when a metoerite flew straight overhead and broke into 5 pieces right above us. The medic and I looked at each other and at the same time said, "did you just see that!?" It will forever be one of my best memories, a truly once in a lifetime happening. Life is gorgeous, wish all of you a good journey, friends 😊
Zimbabwean here. Last Thursday, I was out at dawn walking my dog in one of Harare's suburbs when I saw this extraordinary bolide/meteor flash across the sky from west to east towards the sunrise. It was a brilliant green. I watched it burn up in the atmosphere. That has to be one of the most beautiful natural phenomenon in existence. ☄️
I saw the same thing in southern NSW Australia last Thursday about 5.45am while I was driving to work - amazing sight but very little news about it here
I experience something somewhat similar some years ago. I was using my computer in the night, and while it was cloudy, suddenly the sky got a tint of green and then I hear a bang; then I start to find some information and listening a live night radio program, and it was a meteor crossing the sky over here in central Chile 😁
it's bizarre to watch where it came from and it's interesting to see how it landed on the planet earth. BBC is quite good at explaining such science thing~
Was driving home in Weston-super-Mare a few weeks back & a caught a spectacular view of a meteor burning up in the sky right in front of us, first time I've ever witnessed it for real.
I remember as a kid on a late night drive home with my parents through the rural areas and for a good 10/15 seconds a almost bright green streak through the sky before it dissappeared in the air. That moment really triggered my interest in space, sci-fi and things like that!
@@derekking7319 a question better suited for google than a YT comment, but the simple answer is "size, location, and stage of existence." Asteroids are bigger than meteoroids. When either enters Earth's atmosphere, they become meteors. IF they manage to survive all the way to Earth and don't just burn up in the sky, they are now meteorites.
@@daedalus_20v eloquently put sir. You are correct in all you say. Size seems to clinch it as all or most come from the same place, the Asteroid belt. On occasion, some come from further afield. Thank you for your knowledgable input!)
In 2017 I was driving on a highway late at night through the mountains of BC. I was alone on this stretch so it was dark except for the full moon glow bathing the landscape. Suddenly the mountains in front of me and the smoky skies (bad fire season) lit up in a pulsating blue glow, getting brighter and brighter, almost as bright as at sunrise or sunset, but a cold blue light. The shadows of the other mountains behind me were flying across the landscape almost like a daytime timelapse. It got quite bright for a moment and then quickly faded back to darkness. It was all over in a couple seconds and I didnt get to see the bolide itself since it was behind me but I knew exactly what it was. It was after Chelyabinsk (sp?) and was just like some of the footage from that event with the pulsating and rapidly moving shadows. Sure enough it was in the news the next day, seen across the province and into the USA. Its path was estimated to be about 200kms from me. In hindsight I wish I had stopped after or rolled the window down as I likely would have heard the boom several seconds later. Very cool experience.
No way, mind blown! Hilarious when it goes backwards lol so cool 😎 the rock came from outer space and he chose a random house for his holidays?! Whattt
Orrrr telling it as a story to open the minds of the masses and get them to start thinking about our place in the universe etc? Might just inspire a few more to stop par-taking with infantile human bickering and wake up before our tiny silo'd thinking destroys us? Just saying lol 😂
Those doorbell video images of that meteor remind me of the opening scene of the 1953 sci-fi horror movie called ' It Came From Outer Space ', staring actress Barbara Rush. A very underrated film, I might add!
Man those visuals at the beginning would have gave me nightmares for weeks when I was a kid. Used to have to wake up in the morning and make sure the sun was still there man it was crazy I don’t even know where those thoughts came from. Used to ask all kinds of questions the people around me didn’t know how to answer.
I guess that asteroid belt is just like a bunch of pool balls floating in space all moving and if one bumps one just right it can send it into corner pocket earth? Kinda scary
@@hopebgood oh trust me it's not like I sit around dreading a meteor strike. Its the state of my country (usa) and the world at large that keeps me awake. How is humanity content to sit by while the world burns, micro plastics are in our brains, and fascism's on the rise.... Plenty to worry about THIS side of mars I guess
What would be helpful with these shows/videos, is if you’d put in the corner, the words “actual footage”, “cgi”, “reenactment”. I often get so involved in what you’re showing I don’t stop to think it’s anything but real. Yes, I know you don’t have cameras in space tracking meteors that hit Earth, but I’d find it helpful.
Can someone explain this "online rights" issue ? If it's made by the BBC, and they want people to watch it, why not allow anyone in the world to use iplayer or better still, put it on this channel ? This is just a frustrating teaser for those of us who cannot get iplayer.
because the rest of the world has not paid for the production. Never mind you will eventually by paying for adverts on other channels that eventually show it
they kept developing their catapult technology instead of moving on into new things like we did, it could have been us but we took a different path to tech
Once I saw a small meteor come down at high speed, slow down, loose all of it's speed midair and then simply fall vertically like dropped from a high raised building, but still red hot, just without a fairy tail. It was night and I saw it clearly being red hot and land at about 1 km away from me, maybe less. Probably the angle at which it enter the atmosphere caused all that.
Was there a label on the rock that stated place of origin? Just because you may be able to work out a local final trajectory it will never tell you where it came from. It could have easily ricocheted off another asteroid, and come in from a different trajectory. Merely speculation.
I’m surprised nobody in this chat mentions the fact that the spacex dragon capsule just entered the earth. And then you have all these fear mongers, including BBsC.
Imagine living on a rock covered by wet mossy forests and ocean. Hurtling through space travelling hundreds of kilometres an hour and that's us humans living on earth 🌎 and no one is driving.
We missed one when we were 140 miles out at sea in holland 🇳🇱. Literally by minutes I woke all the lads up it was 4am we all stood on the platform looking at the aftertrail. I got photos and it was still there 7hours later and got photos then also. In the sky to us it looked about 40miles long but probably hundreds of miles long . It's was glittery and red firey shards with the naked eye but the camera got the best pictures it got as it was still dark at 4am but all the lads were buzzing they seen it and I woke them up. The photos are on tiktok
difference is people have spoke about the ability to control weather for decades, and not just your average joe. Doesnt make it true but the fact you’re trying to conflate that into people thinking a meteors controlled is just dumb

Imagine you're a rock flying through space for a couple billion years only to land in some lady's drive way.
"imagine you're a rock" i stopped reading at that part...
Imagine you’re 1 billion-year-old rock and you’re dug up and made into some woman’s driveway and then you get hit by a space rock even older than you.
I'd be pretty happy to be honest.
Heh
Weren’t we all just rocks flying through space already?
Me after watching the video: "So where's footage of the so called meteor landing on earth?"
The government won't let us to see it
Its all clickbait 😒

Because the aliens use disruptors, not fazers! They're disrupted cows!

And even to this day we are still waiting to see the meteor land on earth like the title says.
There are several voices that are iconic when it comes to space. This gentleman, Neil DeGrasse Tyson, Michio Kaku, Jill Tarter, and Heidi Hammel
If I've learned anything from Civilization 6, when they picked up that rock, a heavy chariot spawned in the capital.
Help me, I accidentally upgraded my Chariot into Horseman, now my Horse stockpile is in minus.
👍🤣🤣
Whoa. That is so cool!
Glad it was just that relatively small rock.
No way, mind blown! Hilarious when it goes backwards lol so cool 😎 the rock came from outer space and he chose a random house for his holidays?! Whattt
Lol! It is all so hilarious how the footage didn’t show the impact magically. 🥴
They sent that rock back where it came from ! ☄️
Now they just need to send This story, back where it came from ! 🥳
Scraping three seconds of information over three minutes of over-produced TV: that's pop science.

Where can I watch the whole program and what's the name of this BBC presentation?
"Did that scientist just say meat-eater? Run my friends, fleeee!!" - one of the cows, probably
I could listen to Brian Cox all day and every day on any subject.
I saw it, i told people to take a look at it, they never cared the less, it was in England few days ago

A slight terminology correction. If meteoroid "land on Earth", then it's a meteorite. If it burns in atmosphere, then it is meteor.

Yes, before he starred in Succession.
Well done to the Investigative Team who went to the Asteroid Belt to do the investigations.
Wow, an asteroid came from the asteroid belt 😮, video was excellent, but the end was abrupt. Obviously asteroids mostly come from the asteroid belt.

One impacted earth in Akure, Nigeria in 2020, and it didn’t even make the news.
Beware the man with meteorites in his pocket!
The man who's narrating the video is a professional physicist so he knows what he's talking about yes I do agree it was a little over produced.

If it lands in the uk it's going straight to the british museum.
So that means this rock is more expensive than diamonds.
