Meteors seem like things you see in movies.
They are far, far away in outer space! I mean, I know that we occasionally see meteor showers or the very rare meteor racing across the sky, but you never really expect to encounter one up close!
Warning: this video contains bleeped expletives.
But, there’s no wonder!
While Jay Sullivent was home alone in Appling, Georgia, he heard a loud bang that he thought for certain was a car crash in front of his house.
Determined to help, Jay grabbed his camera and ran outside.
Unable to find anything, he takes a walk around his lawn and stumbles upon a burnt circle of grass with smoke rising from it.
Instead of a car crash, this stunned homeowner made an out of this world discovery after finding a ‘meteor’ in his backyard.
Approaching closer, the middle is aflame with a pink rock in the middle and Jay exclaims ‘it’s a damn meteorite’ as he flicks the hot object out of the hole with a penknife.
Take a look!
