Crap shot....

[branflakes]

If it's on the internet, it must be real...

[Eric Mc]

Not real.

[L100NYY]

Most certainly a fake, and I'm no expert but the damage caused by a meteorite even that small would be a lot worse.

It almost looks as though it's part of an advert, possibly for the trucks in the footage?


Just a thought.

They showed a real one from Australia the other day on the news , looked very spectacular

[off_again]

Yeah, not real its viral advertising for the Toyota Pickup in the USA. The car (well I remember it being a Toyota anyway) is the first full-size Pickup for them in the USA and they have been using a lot of this viral advertising to get it sold... works well.... one of many ads like this.

Its a prank, you wouldn't hear the asteroid coming in.

Ad for the truck. Seen it before.

And if it were real, anything in 500 yards, let alone at that distance, wouldn't be around to tell the tale.

It's too small to be an asteroid - it's only supposed to be ameteorite.

And you might very well hear it approach - as you might hear an artillery shell or a mortar. By the time they are close to the ground, meteorites are usually falling at subsonic speeds - having had their initial velocity wiped out by atmospheric drag.
