Video: Skydiver Says He Was Almost Struck By Meteor During Jump
Usually you only have to worry about colliding with a “rock” if your parachute doesn’t open…
The diver, Anders Helstrup, told Norway’s state TV channel, NRK, he caught the incident on camera during a skydive in 2012. He has only recently come around to the idea that the mysterious, falling object could have been a meteor, and not something else, like a rock falling from his skydiving partners, their plane or even from his own parachute.
Experts contacted by NRK have concluded the footage indeed shows a meteor.
“It can’t be anything else,” geologist Hans Amundsen told the channel after examining the video. “The shape is typical of meteorites — a fresh fracture surface on one side, while the other side is rounded.” Amundsen speculated the space rock was the remnant of a much larger meteor that had exploded as it entered Earth’s atmosphere.
