When Anders Helstrup jumped out of a plane over Hedmark, south east Norway, he didn’t anticipate getting within high-fiving distance of a meteor traveling at 470km per hour.
This is the first time in history that a meteor has been filmed in “dark flight”, that is to say the after its glow has dissipated, prior to striking the ground.
Geologist, Hans Amundsen said:
It can’t be anything else. The shape is typical of meteorites – a fresh fracture surface on one side, while the other side is rounded.
