In this he found that a stone fell from the sky and burst with a cloud of dust. He collected 7 grams of material from this dusty rock and sent it to Dr. Chris Hurd of the University of Alberta, where it was discovered that it was a space rock.
Ring Bell cameras have reportedly been recording many strange things including ghosts and UFOs. But this is the first time that a meteorite hitting the earth was recorded on camera. In July 2024, Laura Kelly and Joe Valadium were returning from walking their dog. Then he found a mysterious shaped mark outside his house. On checking the camera it was seen that a rock had fallen from the sky. The homeowners thought it might be a piece of a meteorite, so they sent it to Dr. Chris Heard, meteorite curator at the University of Alberta.
