On July 25, 2024, a Ring doorbell camera recorded a small meteorite impact in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, Canada, marking the first time a meteorite impact has ever been recorded with both video and audio. The sound of the impact is very clear, and the video is high-quality enough that the meteoroid is visible for a couple of frames before its collision with Earth. Scientists gathered the Charlottetown meteorite’s material from the impact site and determined it was an H5 chondrite.
