A sharp crash that sounds like glass shattering or ice cracking has been documented as likely the world's first audio recording of a meteorite crash. It came by chance from a doorbell camera, recorded last July near the front steps of a home in the Canadian province of Prince Edward Island.

Splat! A meteorite impact recorded by a doorbell camera gave scientists a rare view of a space rock at the moment it hit Earth. The sound is like shattering glass.

This is the first time the sound and image of a meteor falling has been documented on video, a University of Alberta scientist found.

A security camera outside their home recorded the moment a meteorite crashed onto their driveway. Laura Kelly and her partner had gone out for a walk, and when they returned, they found their driveway covered in dust and strange debris.
