The timing of this video could not be better. This looks like it uploaded about the same time I saw a meteor on my drive home from work this evening. Thanks to the clip at the start I can now confirm what I saw, since I didn't know they could break apart into several bright lights in a line like that. Thank you!
I’ve actually seen a fireball before. It’s really odd. They travel at such a velocity that it’s hard to interpret it as far away. It seems small and close, opposed to huge and far away. Like a ghost using a sparkler or something.
I saw a fireball during a meteor shower, and it’s so impressive how the whole world around you turns bright white for a few fleeting moments. Almost like lightning, but more unexpected, vast, and completely different considering a calm and clear atmosphere and sky. The velocity it travels with across the sky is beautiful in and of itself - you implicitly understand how destructive this speed is
I used to see them fall into Lake Ontario a lot. We'd sit on our outside deck during meter showers and watch them fall into the water. It was brilliant and a wonderful memory!
I've seen roughly 30 shooting stars in my life I reckon possibly more, only one time I saw possible fireball but it was weird in how slow it travelled.
@@danielhooper502 4 kT is 16 TJ X2 is 32 TJ Divide by 10 milllion kg….3.2M(m/s)- squared …..or 1 mile per second….that’s a real slow meteor you got there 😂😂😂🤣
A meteorite hit my moms car 6’ in front of me. That was over 40 years ago and I still remember it well. Thankfully it was a tiny piece by the time it hit us leaving only a small dent in the hood. The view of it rushing towards us was surreal. No movie has properly portrayed it from the point of impact.
I believe my car was hit by a meteorite while driving. Very very strange, I was driving up in Canada about 40 mph and then "boom" a huge loud noise hit the car. There was fields on both sides, so I figured some kid thru a rock at my car, but I did not see anybody ? It was about 9pm in the summer, at dusk. I stopped about 1/4 mile down the road, and found a good sized dent, in the front hood of my car ? If I was going 40 mph, and if a kid thru a rock, it's likely that rock would have then hit my windshield, as the car was going forward, which would have moved the car into this rock. I never saw any bright lights - "nothing" just one hell of a bang. Still have the dent on my front hood of my car. I do think it was a space rock, that came straight down on a vertical angle, and somehow did not hit my windshield -- thank God, or more damage. The damaged area is only about 2.5 inches in diameter, so it must have been a small rock from space. If there was a high rise apartment building next to the road I was on, then yes, I would think a kid or someone could have thrown a rock, but there was just empty field, so that rock or whatever that hit my car, was likely a space rock. I tell this to people, and their not sure what to think ? as I show them the damage, which is still there, as I type this. The dent is only maybe 1/4 inch deep, with jagged edges around it. Not much, but it sure made one of the loudest bangs while I was driving, and scared the crap out of me.
Your content keeps getting better and better. The editing is so well done and I’m sure there’s tons of behind-the-scenes work you’ve put into this video I’m not even aware of. Amazing work again. Love watching the channel grow!
Really enjoying the more diverse content you've been putting out. You should do a video about tsunamis and other ocean phenomena, I think that'd be pretty cool. Also do you know about the brown mountain lights? If not you should check it out, I'd love to see you talk about some more mysterious natural phenomena.
I know of a location where I accidentally found out it is covered in numerous tiny metal balls that kind of appear to have a fusion crust. I found it as a teenager when I was attempting to remove a magnet from a broken speaker in the yard. When I did finally get the magnet off the base, it was covered in these little metal balls about 1mm or so. I checked a few other nearby areas of the yard and these balls were there too. So, I got some and put them into a jar and gave them to my science teacher, who couldn't explain it. Life went on and now about 25 years later, I want to return to the area and collect more metal balls and maybe try to figure out once and for all what they are.
My first thought was slag lol but I think there's a good chance they're iron concretions. They can be hard to Id for a layperson but hopefully that's a start or you can at least strike concretion of the list?
I have a memory of being hit by micrometeorites as a child. It's the only explanation I can think of as to what happened to me. I was 5 or 6. I was playing in my backyard, not under a tree, not under an awning, out in the open air, when suddenly I was pelted on the head and shoulders with what felt like gravel. I looked up, but there was nothing there, not a plane, not a helicopter, not a bird, nothing. Nobody else was around, and the gravely stuff came from overhead, not from the side, as if someone had thrown them. I still remember that. Couldn't figure out what it was as a child, and just didn't think about it. But in later years, I think about it more and more and my latest theory is that I was hit with the remains of a micrometeorite.
@@benjalucian1515 Use a powerful rare earth magnet taped to the end of a dowel rod. Most meteorites have metal in them and a magnet will find them. Small powerful rare earth magnets can be removed from old disk drives….hard drives. Good luck. Collectors will pay a lot for real meteorites.
Seems more likely that a bird dropped something on your head. Birds sometime take sand baths, so that could be the reason. It's also possible they were just carrying something, like bird seeds. If a penny dropped from a skyscraper is lethal, then a micro meteor would also do some damage.
@@Mephitinae A penny dropped from a skyscraper isn''t lethal, that's an urban rumor. I didn't see any birds, like I said, I didn't see anything over me.
Your videos have a reliable quality and I really enjoy all of them. I like that the topics are a mix of tornadoes etc and fresh and unexpected, like this one. Keep up the good work and I'll keep watching.
Another awesome production. I love that you always dig into your topic with enough detail to make it interesting, but not boring. Keep up the awesome work, Jake!
At my friend’s 16th birthday party we saw what must have been a falling meteor that freaked us out so bad. It was huge and slow, not like most falling stars, with pieces falling off of it engulfed in what looked like fire. We thought it was the big one like what killed the dinosaurs lol it was like a movie. But it was obviously way smaller than it looked. Still one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen, but also one of the scariest moments I’ve experienced.
The puns are literally killing me, The dude is a lowkey a comedy genius too. Please never stop doing them. Also you be becoming the Bob Ross of tornadoes lol
Slight correction for you, Swegle. You mentioned Ann Hodges got struck by a meteorite in November 1956 (5:17 time of the video) but the plaque you show at 6:17 says it happened in November 1954. Ann sold the meteorite to the Museum of Natural History in 1956.
This video just unlocked a memory. When I was a kid I thought I saw a meteor aka shooting star falling but I didn't know what that bright light was back then but now I am almost certain it was a meteor.
The fact that you found the older picture from Google street view of two neighbors chatting and pointing to the spot in the driveway where the 1980 Chevy Malibu was hit back in 92 is just nuts! 10/10 sleuth work!
That’s the way I want to go! Not there’s a choice but living to maybe 75 in good health and then WHAM by meteorite! Good life, no lingering death business, with a bonus of finally getting my 15 minutes of fame! Great video BTW. thanks!
You were so right! It was only a matter of time. Roughly 2 weeks ago the first ever close up, high quality footage of a meteorite impact was caught on a home security camera. It even caught the audio of the impact.
The weirdest thing is I was randomly thinking about it a woman who got hit by part of a meteorite whilst watching TV literally about an hour or so ago, maybe less, so around the time this video was posted. Funny/Interesting coincidence! Great video, love your stuff!
10:30 80s hair! I remember that hair very well, because it was always accompanied by a statement like, "I don't like movies," or "Yeah, right," or "I'd like to, but I'll be washing my hair that night."
I've seen two fireballs so far. First was in 2022 while on vacation in the Michigan Upper Peninsula. Second was a month later when me and my brother were talking on our back porch in Holland, Mi. Very surreal to see in real life.
When I was like 6 or 7 my sister and I saw a meteor impact in bixby oklahoma. My parents were driving us home from our grandparents as we saw something smash into the ground in a field we tried to search for it but only for a few minutes my parents thought we made it up. There is a chance this was not a meteor but I just remember seeing large sparks go flying up and landing back down, I dont remember if there was a sound or not. Aside from the 2001 leonids, I have seen 2 massive meteors. One was just a giant green streak that was incredibly bright the other was more mysterious as it was a literal fireball that moved fairly slow so it was probably space debris. The 2001 leonids was insane seriously it was like 1 meteor every second sometimes 3 or more at the same time. Truly something unbelievable and there's no good video. These meteors came in so many different colors as well. My dad woke us up around 11pm and chased a hole in the clouds he had found using 2001 internet weather forecasts. We ended up almost in Louisiana from Tulsa. When we got there my sisters and I were asleep. I just remember waking up to my dad saying "look up" and the sky was just on fire with these meteors. Remembering this gives me goosebumps. Someday we will have another one of these meteor storms and I hope to see it with my dad again or make it magical for someone else. EDIT: Literally the day after typing this up there was a massive meteor in spain. Weird timing.
FUN FACT! Shooting stars have a smell to them! Since they are basically small burning meteorites shooting through the atmosphere, and meteorites-confirmed by scientists-smell like sweet tarts. Basically, shooting stars smell like sweet tarts, with the hint of burning rock. Not like you wanna be close enough to smell one, anyways
One night after lights out as a prank at summer camp during the Perseid meteor shower in August we threw a couple handfuls of gravel on the corrugated roof of the director's cabin after he said it was unlikely any would reach the ground. We all had a good laugh and he had a sense of humor about but said it wasn't the first time campers had pulled that prank!
I know in Western Australia, all meteorites that fall here belong to the state, and have to be handed over for study, although you can legally buy meteorites online or at gem expos. I recently bought a fragment of the Wolfe Creek meteorite and have it sitting on my desk.
I always knew I could hear meteors since i was a kid. It was validated recently when I heard one, looked in the direction of the sound and saw it a fraction of a second later. Sound does not travel from that high. What I learned is that some people can detect the EMFs they emit.
Saw one hit a high mountain cliff face in the Colorado Rockies in the winter. It was spectacular. It must have been very very small. I was a few miles away.
When my dad was a teen him and my aunt was driving down the road and a meteor went across the road in front of them and almost hit them. my dad keeps telling me this story a lot he said it was a bright ball of fire.
Imagine being on a plane, being hit by a meteorite. Because you can try to predict the weather and make every single safety procedure is do correctly. And then BOOM meteorite. You certainly cannot predict that.
I saw an earth grazing Fireball meteor in Quakertown PA after a musical gig in the early morning sky was one of the most awesome moments of my life and terrifying..... less terrifying than if it had been directly overhead... also from what I recall it remained intact without explosion only took a few seconds to go all the way across...
5:15 im an alabamian and i know some crazy stuff happens in Sylacauga. This is just a typical day in Sylacauga. If i remember correctly, you can see the meteorite in a museum in Tuscaloosa.
back when i spent a lot of night time outside(no smartphone age), i often saw weird shooting star, its dim, slow, saw it split to 2 once, there's no bright flash like those meteor video, the brightness and size was constant, its more like small part of fireworks, i find it so cool.

I'm not sure if this is terribly rare, but I saw a meteor airbrush when I was a kid. My family and I stayed up late because there was supposed to be a meteor shower that night. We were all lying on the trampoline in the backyard watching the show, and we saw a super bright one directly overhead shooting through the sky. A few seconds after it started, it exploded in this massive bright blue detonation, creating a vast bright sphere. After thirty seconds or less, we heard the noise, and it sounded a bit like thunder but a higher pitch. It is an incredible childhood memory; I wish we had smartphones back then or had our video camera to record it all.
I never will forget hearing a loud noise like an airplane but the noise was too loud for an airplane and where I sat in my house was the perfect view. I thought it could have been a plane in trouble but then I saw it and it was awesome finally seeing a meteor. This happened about 8 years ago south of Atl.
I remember years ago, me and my dad were on his porch, and we send a very low meteorite (low enough to hear a sound like a model rocket) right over our roof, never heard it hit the ground, but was the coolest thing I’ve seen
hey, i did a paper on this a few years ago in uni! it was pretty interesting to connect these modern air burst events to potential events in distant history
I may have seen an earth-grazing meteor one summer night in either 2013 or 2014 in southeast Nebraska while fighting insomnia in the family tent. I don't know exactly where it went or whether it was truly earth-grazing, but it was a bright blue-green fireball, that's for certain.
I got hit by a pea sized rock about 15 years ago that first bounced off a metal table in front of me and landed on my pants. I picked it up and it burned my fingers. I tossed it on the table and let it cool off. I kept that thing in the cup holder of my car a few years always planning on getting it tested. Then someone vacuumed it up when cleaning my car one day
I guess it makes sense the small pieces would be hotter because they don’t have as much core mass to stay frozen through entry. They are product of the hot ablation probably
Considering how often meteors airburst, I dont find a lot of these stories unlikely. An airburst can shower debris across a large area.

It’s always a good day when Swegle Studios posts a video.😄
Ok for a split second I thought the title read “People who have been hit by Mosquitoes” …I need to go back to bed 😂
YES my favorite youtuber uploaded :D
Swegs, not one person has been hit by a meteorite 🤣 Kidding. Digging your content!
Hilarious yet accurate conclusion. It was a really fun video, thanks!
4:50 yo, just recently there is really good new footage of a meteorite hitting the ground in canada!
I could watch these videos for days, so interesting and entertaining
Talk ~2cm away from the mic but I'm loving the video and you're awesome!!
One night after lights out as a prank at summer camp during the Perseid meteor shower in August we threw a couple handfuls of gravel on the corrugated roof of the director's cabin after he said it was unlikely any would reach the ground. We all had a good laugh and he had a sense of humor about but said it wasn't the first time campers had pulled that prank!
That outro was accidentally really dark lmao great video again
My dude, you never disappoint. ☕
I know in Western Australia, all meteorites that fall here belong to the state, and have to be handed over for study, although you can legally buy meteorites online or at gem expos. I recently bought a fragment of the Wolfe Creek meteorite and have it sitting on my desk.
I am so glad I’m not the only weirdo to have wondered if getting killed by a random meteorite could happen.
bro that starstruck joke was genuinely so good
edit: goddamnit the through-the-roof was good, my man is on fire
Excellent topic. Subscribed 🎉
This guy's like the Sir David Attenborough of weather, awesome 👍 hope you're well man
I always knew I could hear meteors since i was a kid. It was validated recently when I heard one, looked in the direction of the sound and saw it a fraction of a second later. Sound does not travel from that high. What I learned is that some people can detect the EMFs they emit.
Saw one hit a high mountain cliff face in the Colorado Rockies in the winter. It was spectacular. It must have been very very small. I was a few miles away.
I love watching him everyday! He is super fun and smart!
do a video on the Wayne EF4 tornado plzzz
Are you a meteor, because you really made a hit! Keep up the great work 😊
I like that you are mixing up the video content
When my dad was a teen him and my aunt was driving down the road and a meteor went across the road in front of them and almost hit them. my dad keeps telling me this story a lot he said it was a bright ball of fire.
Imagine being on a plane, being hit by a meteorite. Because you can try to predict the weather and make every single safety procedure is do correctly. And then BOOM meteorite. You certainly cannot predict that.
And then the loss of cabin pressure. On a side note, that idea has untapped movie potential.
crazy that you posted this today cus i had a dream that my house was being hit by a ton of huge astroids
This was great!
There was a meteor fragment that landed in PEI, Canada, quite recently, that got caught on camera. There’s extremely good footage.
The meteorite that hit the car in 92 is actually the exact one rolex bought that they've been using in their meteorite dials
What music did swegle use in his INSANLY RARE CLOUD TYPES video at 5:23? its so chill!
I saw an earth grazing Fireball meteor in Quakertown PA after a musical gig in the early morning sky was one of the most awesome moments of my life and terrifying..... less terrifying than if it had been directly overhead... also from what I recall it remained intact without explosion only took a few seconds to go all the way across...
Yessir time to watch a great video and wind down for the evening
5:15 im an alabamian and i know some crazy stuff happens in Sylacauga. This is just a typical day in Sylacauga. If i remember correctly, you can see the meteorite in a museum in Tuscaloosa.
back when i spent a lot of night time outside(no smartphone age), i often saw weird shooting star, its dim, slow, saw it split to 2 once, there's no bright flash like those meteor video, the brightness and size was constant, its more like small part of fireworks, i find it so cool.
I believe my car was hit by a meteorite while driving. Very very strange, I was
driving up in Canada about 40 mph and then "boom" a huge loud noise hit the
car. There was fields on both sides, so I figured some kid thru a rock at my car,
but I did not see anybody ? It was about 9pm in the summer, at dusk.
I stopped about 1/4 mile down the road, and found a good sized dent, in the
front hood of my car ? If I was going 40 mph, and if a kid thru a rock, it's likely
that rock would have then hit my windshield, as the car was going forward, which
would have moved the car into this rock. I never saw any bright lights - "nothing"
just one hell of a bang. Still have the dent on my front hood of my car. I do think
it was a space rock, that came straight down on a vertical angle, and somehow
did not hit my windshield -- thank God, or more damage. The damaged area is
only about 2.5 inches in diameter, so it must have been a small rock from space.
If there was a high rise apartment building next to the road I was on, then yes, I
would think a kid or someone could have thrown a rock, but there was just empty
field, so that rock or whatever that hit my car, was likely a space rock. I tell this
to people, and their not sure what to think ? as I show them the damage, which is
still there, as I type this. The dent is only maybe 1/4 inch deep, with jagged edges
around it. Not much, but it sure made one of the loudest booms while I was driving,
and scared the crap out of me.
I'm not sure if this is terribly rare, but I saw a meteor airbrush when I was a kid. My family and I stayed up late because there was supposed to be a meteor shower that night. We were all lying on the trampoline in the backyard watching the show, and we saw a super bright one directly overhead shooting through the sky. A few seconds after it started, it exploded in this massive bright blue detonation, creating a vast bright sphere. After thirty seconds or less, we heard the noise, and it sounded a bit like thunder but a higher pitch. It is an incredible childhood memory; I wish we had smartphones back then or had our video camera to record it all.
Have you ever thought of doing asmr? Your voice is super relaxing.
Interesting. Some look like molten iron and others rocks with sharp angles.🤔🍻
i love your channel so much ur the best
I never will forget hearing a loud noise like an airplane but the noise was too loud for an airplane and where I sat in my house was the perfect view. I thought it could have been a plane in trouble but then I saw it and it was awesome finally seeing a meteor. This happened about 8 years ago south of Atl.
Finally, a real meteorology video
Sir your videos are amazing well done.
I remember years ago, me and my dad were on his porch, and we send a very low meteorite (low enough to hear a sound like a model rocket) right over our roof, never heard it hit the ground, but was the coolest thing I’ve seen
hey, i did a paper on this a few years ago in uni! it was pretty interesting to connect these modern air burst events to potential events in distant history
I may have seen an earth-grazing meteor one summer night in either 2013 or 2014 in southeast Nebraska while fighting insomnia in the family tent. I don't know exactly where it went or whether it was truly earth-grazing, but it was a bright blue-green fireball, that's for certain.
I got hit by a pea sized rock about 15 years ago that first bounced off a metal table in front of me and landed on my pants. I picked it up and it burned my fingers. I tossed it on the table and let it cool off. I kept that thing in the cup holder of my car a few years always planning on getting it tested. Then someone vacuumed it up when cleaning my car one day
I guess it makes sense the small pieces would be hotter because they don’t have as much core mass to stay frozen through entry. They are product of the hot ablation probably
I remember seeing the Benld meteorite and car parts at the Chicago Field museum when I was younger.
videos about outer space from this channel would be cool
