Meteorites are extraterrestrial rocks that have ended up on earth. All of them are literally ‘out of this world,’ but here are three of the strangest of these aliens.

Yes big daddy. Tell me more about space
Who wants to bet that one of the scientists tried to sell those space diamonds.
What about that meteorite found near Egypt that MAY be older than the Sun?
Just a thought, but instead of a primordial planet would it not be more plausible to be the object that hit the earth and created our moon?
Woah only 12 comments, hey guys keep up the great work!
Why did 8people dislike this video
Get this man some AC and a towel!
Mars might have been larger in past. Eliments like sulfur carbon and and hydrogen bonds burn and vaporize. Solar winds takes the away with the rest of the atmosphere. So burning carbon would reduce matterials on Mars making matters worse . Maybe that what the native martians might have done.
And why they dicect those possible bacteria Fossils in Mars meteor
This guy has gotten a lot better at narrating and presenting these videos compared to when he started
4th one was the one Sokka used to forge his sword
Meteorites are much better than plain meaty-ites.
Hearing Anglophones try to say Ö is weird, I have to say.
Hi
I know. Almahata Sitta is a remnant of Planet 9. The reason we can’t find planet 9 is that it was destroyed in a collision but its gravitational effects remain until something equally big rolls through the Kuiper Belt and rearranges things again. Whatever collided with Planet 9 must have been similar in size and they collided in a way that obliterated them both, creating a large number of the small objects that make up the Kuiper Belt.
Speculatin’ with the best of ’em,

What happens is a “normal matter” black whole absorbs antimatter? Would it annialate or would the immense forces cancel out that reaction?
Wait so it took a full experiment to tell you the bullet shaped meteors(and those pushed into that shape by atmospheric erosion) fall in straight, bullet like lines?
Next you’ll be telling me spinning them increases their stability.
MAYBE SOMEONE WILL PUT GROVES IN A TINY CANNON BARREL AND USE THIS NEW INFORMATION
seriously…
Idiosyncratic meteorites
The DFTBA pins should be sold for longer than they are being sold.
This guy looks like euron greyjoy
He looks kinda warm
tajecteries, chajecktarees, trudjecktaries…
what is up with nature and phallic shapes?
Ive got a little piece of meteorite its a campo cielo from south america its so amazing to be able to hold something thats soooooo old
Even if they don’t contain diamonds, meteorites can still be fascinating little gems.
I’ve got a glowing meteorite in a crater it my backyard. It talks to me, and it told me to build a shed around it so no one could see it.
It tells me it’s got BIG plans! But I think my dog is getting sick.
BTW. Everything is at least as old as Earth itself.
was there aliens tho????????????
What do they call a rock not a meteorite? A meteorwrong. I know that’s lame. Lol.
Sounds all common sense
you got dry red eyes clear eyes is awesome……….
Those meteorites are a weird flex but ok
Lmao who named this video?
Is it possible to buy a diamond that came in from a meteorite?
Weird but not more than our English lecturer
What about that meteorite from near Glen Canyon, Arizona that Kane and Block discovered?
the almahata sitta came from Phaeton the planet that was just past mars now
the asteroid belt
wait, so it isn’t clear why some meteorites present a cone-form, yet. Is that right? Since the experiment assumed the aluminum to be shaped that way.
thats weird
Lets make a giant disc and throw it at earth from space and call it a 4th weird meteorite to see the flat earth society reacting to it
Is it possible the last one came from the moon? Or do moon rocks have the wrong ingredients?
Is it just more or do some of these “oriented” meteorites look a little… ahem… Phallic.
Explain the difference between a rock that is as old as the Earth vs one that isn’t.
Mightn’t all rocks be as old as the Earth, but some were at the outside of a primordial planet, and therefore not forming crystalline structures?
Nice voice. I like your voice haha
I think i bought drugs off this guy before
Technically everything we touch is made of star stuff as Sagan liked to say.
But yes, meteorites as pieces from a time after everything had condensed out, are ‘out of this world’ in that sense.
we talkin about media rights??
this guys voice sounds JUST like bryan shaw.
Sucker for pins… I buy so many legacy ones when the ladies come by to raise funds. 😂📌
Hmm he must of had dry eyes and just put clear eyes in like look from 24 seconds to 26 seconds like it looks like he put clear eyes or something in…………..theres a water reflection on booth sides
Orientation = Aerodynamics Mr R.
Oh, space diamonds.
Have I been missing your videos Reid?
Great topic
1 – A plane? Really?
They look like bullets.
Ballistic trajectory 🤔
Basicly when scientists don’ t know about the origin of something in space, just say they smashed into each other until you find evidence of something better. LOL
Great episode. Crazy that they were able to predict where that one meteor was going to hit accurately enough to find bits and pieces!
But September hasn’t ended since 1993… XD
disoriented meteorite tumbling aimlessly through the atmosphere
Pin ordered!👍
Diamond grows different in space. Some studies have found that diamonds grow bigger and faster in a vacuum
Could have the Meteorite with the Diamond fragments originated from Thea, the proto-planet that collided with the Earth?
Damn, that was the best pronounciation of ö I’ve ever heard from a non-swede
Good pronunciation of Ö there : )
“Formed under a pressure of at least 20 gigapascal … which is really high!”
can you give us a comparison of how high it is? kinda expecting it.
36 years old I have been looking for meteorites for years! I recently found one in all places my backyard LOL so for everybody out there just keep looking you can find it anywhere
20 giga pascals, its like….really high XD
Yay! Double yay!! And a new pin? *clicks so fast to order* If you insist!
Love the shirt, where did you get it?
Chocked FULL OF DIAMONDS NO
BUT A METAL METEORITE ON EBAY OFFERS SUBSTANTIAL $$$$$$$$$$$ BLING!!
Good choices! I’m so glad you didn’t trot out ALH001 like everyone else does when the subject of “odd meteorites” comes up.
When September ends??😅 I’m there.
His voice is awesome.
I remember when me and a friend could hear a meteor hiss one night, tripped me out for the longest time till i found out that they can sometimes put out a radio wave of some sort, causing everything around you pretty much vibrate. Still don’t entirely understand it.
04:44
I have to disagree here. They don’t form at different pressure/temperature conditions due to their chemical composition but rather the pressure/temp. conditions let them form in a certain crystaline structure.
It’s why you have quarz at lower pressure and coesite at high pressure conditions – both made out of SiO2.
6:00
“once september ends”
03:44 “almahata sitta” literally means station 6 in Arabic ” المحطة ستة ”
& yeh ” Wake me up when September ends”!
never seen a grown man cry from talking about meteorites. have now.
“Coned” meteorites have a perpendicular rotation to our atmosphere when entering. 👌
Hey, that’s a pretty decent attempt at proper Swedish pronunciation! Good job and thanks for not just assuming Ö = O like most others! =D
“I’m a hot sista” I think she was feeling good that day
Heeeeeey I use pascals as a unit of measurement in my line of work lol 20 giga pascals holy moly.
“Some of those tales (tails) are more curious than others.”
♫ “Pick me up, before September ends” ♪ – Viking lander pin.
That embedded meteorite would have been super easy to miss if people werent looking for it. Wonder how many potentially valuable meteorites were inadvertently turned to construction material
Hello!!! Perfect timing for this episode! I’m doing a project for school about meteorites!!!
If I had been shown the first one without context then I would have thought it was a sculpture.
“Only to rest in peace together, here on earth.”
Well, in pieces, anyway.
Any chance Almahata Sitta came from Theia?
“The sky is made of diamonds..”
That pin must be made of
\m/( o_o)\m/ metal!
Dude runs marathons AND lifts between recording amazing shows. What a guy!
0:36
:)…Dude that looks like something other than the ‘Nose of an Aeroplane’. but the Head of something else….
I’ve always wondered something.
Theoretically, can a star become denser than the normal point it would take to collapse into a black hole, but still survive as a somewhat normal star?
If so, what conditions would it take?
2:52 That’s cute little electrons rotating there?
dont cry.. were u eating chili peppers?
Missed opportunity to say “they came to rest in pieces on Earth”
5:07 “20 gigapascals is really high”.
200 000 atmospheres, specifically.
Great video. Fyi, the *next meteor shower* will be the Draconids, well visible the 8th and 9th of october from the Northern Hemisphere.
This guy is awesome! He’s my favorite SciShow person. Way to go, you! Keep doing YOU!
As a swede, I approve of your pronunciation of Öst!
