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 really enjoy seeing the cows watch the meteor!

Imagine opening your door and Brian Cox is in your driveway holding rocks

[Carmaroadside]

Legend has it that it's still flying through a bunch of put together clips on youtube infinitely

Imagine you're a rock flying through space for a couple billion years only to land in some lady's drive way.

Brian Cox will always captivate me with his knowledge and storytelling, we need more programmes like this!!

Cows : Our great great great great great great great great great ancestors were not making this up.

The cows know more than you realize! They’re unfazed.

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.

Me after watching the video: "So where's footage of the so called meteor landing on earth?"

[karansjet]

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!

[Susan-cq]

I could listen to Brian Cox all day and every day on any subject.

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 😁

If I've learned anything from Civilization 6, when they picked up that rock, a heavy chariot spawned in the capital.

"It was the sound that most people noticed" -- I truly hope it was not this ominous background music...

[Mimzrz]

imagine a meteor landing in your driveway and the government just comes and takes your whole driveway

Scraping three seconds of information over three minutes of over-produced TV: that's pop science.

There are several voices that are iconic when it comes to space. This gentleman, Neil DeGrasse Tyson, Michio Kaku, Jill Tarter, and Heidi Hammel
