A man in Prince Edward Island got doubly lucky last July, recording a meteorite's impact on his home security cameras. The space rock also landed in the exact spot he'd been standing minutes earlier.

A doorbell camera has captured the remarkable moment a meteorite struck the ground outside a home, scattering dust and producing audible impact sounds—a historic first, according to University of Alberta scientist Chris Herd.

Throughout history, only a select few people who were in the right place at the right time could say they’ve heard the sound of a meteor hitting Earth. But that group is about to get a whole lot bigger after the phenomena was caught on camera.

A home security camera captured the rare event. The homeowner narrowly escaped getting hit. “It probably would’ve ripped me in half.”

Sound and video of a meteorite was caught by a Ring doorbell camera in the Atlantic Canada province of P.E.I. last July. Scientists believe it’s the first footage of its kind.

For the first confirmed time in P.E.I.’s history, a meteorite landed on the Island and the event was captured on camera. An expert from the University of Alberta believes it’s also the first time the sound of a meteorite striking Earth has ever been recorded.

What is believed to be the first-ever footage with sound of a meteorite hitting Earth was captured on the home-security camera of a P.E.I. resident. It's also the first reported and confirmed space rock to fall in the Maritimes.

About two minutes after a P.E.I. man left his home to go for a walk with his wife and their dogs, a space rock hurtling toward Earth crashed onto the path where he had been standing.
