Joe Velaidum had absolutely no idea he was about to witness something unusual when he and his partner, Laura Kelly, went outside to walk their dogs on a July afternoon in 2024 on Prince Edward Island.

"We were startled to find the walkway littered with debris. Stones everywhere. They were scattered everywhere. And at first, we had no idea what caused it," Velaidum told to NPR.

Velaidum thought earlier that something had fallen off the roof, as the material he was cleaning appeared grey and dusty. Kelly's parents, who live nearby, mentioned hearing a huge noise of something exploding.

They assumed it might have been a meteorite strike. Velaidum checked his home security footage & realized they were correct. This meteorite strike is believed to be the 1st time the full sound of a meteorite hitting Earth has been captured on video, according to an expert. Geologist Chris Herd of the University of Alberta, who examined the retrieved fragments, suggested it might be the first ever recorded sound of a meteorite fall.

"As the first and only meteorite from the province of PEI, the Charlottetown Meteorite sure announced its arrival in a spectacular way. No other meteorite fall has been documented like this, complete with sound," Herd said. "It adds a whole new dimension to the natural history of the Island."
