这是赫斯托普的朋友们在飞机上俯拍的照片，几秒钟后陨石就与他擦肩而过
Skydivers know what they do is dangerous, but they don't expect falling meteorites. Anders Helstrup, from the Oslo Parachute Club, caught this rare footage of a large chunk of space rock hurtling past.
Anders Helstrup and several others had just jumped out of a small plane after taking off from Østre Æra Airport in Hedmark county when it happened.
"I got the feeling that there was something, but I didn't register what was happening," Helstrup told NRK about the event, which took place back in 2012.
But the camera fixed to his helmet was recording non-stop.
"When we stopped the film, we could clearly see something that looked like a stone. At first it crossed my mind that it had been packed into a parachute, but it's simply too big for that."
"We've thought of all possible scenarios, like could it have been packed in the equipment? Or something falling from a plane? Or something belonging to he other flyers?" he added.
But at that moment, "nothing's above me or near me," he said.
Geologist Hans Amundsen confirmed to Norway's NRK channel that a meteorite had indeed exploded some 20 kilometres above the earth's surface on the day of that jump. He said he believed that the object was an fragment of a meteorite in its last "dark flight" or "post-incandescence phase".
“This is the first time in history that a meteorite has been filmed in the air when it is no longer emitting any light,” Amundsen said. “It’s certainly much less likely than winning the lottery three times in a row."
The incident took place in June 2012 in southern Norway and the region has since been combed to find the space rock.
After the video went viral on social media on Friday, experts appeared doubtful.
"I'm more than a little sceptical of this story, but it's not entirely ridiculous," astronomer Scott Manley said on Twitter. "If I were going full tinfoil hat I'd say that it's an easy thing to add to a video. I hope they find the rock on the ground."
"I can't say if it's real or not ... Seems unlikely though," said Phil Plait, an astronomy blogger.
【新闻快讯】
跳伞爱好者们都知道跳伞存在一定危险性，但他们没有想到连陨石也来凑热闹。日前，挪威广播公司(NRK)播出一段视频，挪威跳伞好手赫斯托普(Anders Helstrup)在国内跳伞时，曾与一块陨石碎片擦身而过，距离只有几米远。
这段视频是赫斯托普头盔上的摄影机拍摄。画面显示，一块看似巨石的物体以极快速度掠过赫斯托普，而他当时刚打开降落伞。
地质学家阿蒙森认为，影片中的物体是陨石，且已进入最后的“无光飞行期”(darkflight)，不再发出光芒。
假如上述说法属实，这将是处于后白热光阶段(post-incandescence)的陨石首次入镜。
阿蒙森告诉赫斯托普：“如果你晚几分之一秒跳下，可能会死。”
这场“陨石奇遇记”于2012年6月发生在挪威南部，事后这个地区经过彻底搜查，以寻找这块陨石的踪迹。
