This is a pretty cool video of a close encounter between a lucky Norwegian wing suit flyer and a meteorite during its "dark flight." Apparently this is the first in-flight footage of a meteorite in flight after it's gone out.
I love how much they're cracking up at how close he came to being hit by it.

Half a century spent proving “it is better to be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.”
really amazing I hope they find it. I have several meteorites in my rock collection, I can not imagine having something like this.
