I went to a science camp as a kid and we did the same thing! they are called micro meteorites. They are easily collected where water flows like drain pipes from the roof or gutters. Even smaller ones shown here are constantly falling. If you eat a bowl of cereal outside you are likely to eat at least one. To small to be ever seen even with a good microscope but your still eating space

@@OAcessoPublico edit* I just rewatched the video and realized I basically said the same thing in the video...: be sure to get a microscope even a cheap one will help you tell the difference between Iron fragments natural to earth or micrometeorites, iron fragments will be jagged or flattish. Micrometeriotes will be round with small indentation. That's from falling through the atmosphere and burning evenly the pits are from inclusions burning faster or slower than the iron. Sometimes you can find ones you can hold in your hand visible to the naked eye. Incredibly 5.200 tons of meteorite material is added to the earth every year falling from space. You been hit by them many times without knowing.

(I'm a PhD geologist, although I have never done anything with meteorites.) I doubt these are meteorites. There are many ways that magnetic spheres can be created incidental to industrial-type processes or naturally. Welding steel sometimes produces molten iron droplets that fly through the air and harden. Steel making, especially the basic oxygen furnace, produces many molten droplets. Spheres of magnetic minerals can crystallize in nature; geologists call these "concretions." You might be better off using a weaker magnet. You might be picking up materials that are only weakly magnetic. Can you somehow measure the "magnetic susceptibility" of these materials? I have no idea how to do that. Walter and Louis Alverez serendipitiously discovered the K-T impact when they were trying to estimate the sedimentation rate of a shale layer that marks the K-T boundary. They were attempting to estimate the amount of extraterrestial material in the shale. The decided that the most practical way to do that was to measure the iridium concentration. I'd say the cheapest way to determine if these are extraterrestial would be to have them analyzed for iridium and see whether they have the iridium concentration of iron meteorites.

They look like welding waste, which is supposed to be common in cities, on roads, even on rooftops. Maybe someone in your local university's chemistry department will get them analysed for you and see if they contain nickel. I'd've done it for you when I was in school. A flame spectrometer might be useful - although I'm about 40 years out of date in instrumental analysis. A mass spectrometer or an x-ray difraction spectrum might help too.

05:34 - Wow, this looks just like those supposed "iron microspheres" found in the 9/11 debris. Some people claimed they were made by thermite reactions, and that the molten iron turned to small microspheres while falling, and that they cooled and solidified before they hit the ground. However, this appears to be evidence to the contrary. I've never seen meteorite spheres like this before. _EDIT: Although, they did find red/grey chips where the red side was almost pure Iron(III) oxide with condensed pure aluminium powder, and unnaturally large amounts of sulphur were present in the same samples. That couldn't be explained except for "nano-thermite". Anyway, digressing!_

Fireballs are more common than people think. I've seen a number of them, but I have lived in wilderness areas way up North, where the skies are clear and unobstructed and winter nights are very long. I've seen red ones, white ones, bright green ones, ones that shot out sparks, ones that left smoke trails, even one that seemed to make a crackly, hissing sound, although I can't be sure the noise came from the fireball. Throwing sparks is common on big ones. PS I've had an interest in astronomy since I was a child, and I'm getting old. I've got many decades of paying attention to dark skies. Also, some meteor showers occasionally will produce a fireball PPS Regular shooting stars can be seen on any clear night that you really want to pay attention long enough, so long as you live away from light pollution.

As time passed, I realized it would be impossible to hear a meteor in real time. Such distant objects would have a sound delay. But I know I heard it, and I know I heard it in real time. This led me to do some research and eventually I discovered a science paper on how some meteors create powerful radio emissions in their plasma trail. These radio emissions can interact with things such as vegetation to produce sound. I only know one other person who has heard a meteor. It's a small club.

Before I'd call them "actually meteorites" I'd check them for high nickel content. How to do that non-destructively with samples so small is another thing.

Perfect timing. A few days ago I was lucky enough to witness a meteorite falling in close proximity to myself and property. It was around 2am, the surrounding environment was very quiet, and I believe I heard particles striking the earth in the near by forest. I have a neodymium magnet and with the info gathered here, I will now plan and execute a grid search for the possible meteorites.

Would be curious to know given you were picking up those from the asphalt. When a road is being paved, the asphalt mixture is usually heated to at least 250 degrees, sometimes 275. This allows it to be poured easily. Some of it also depends upon the tar vs. rock and binder mixture. Pure tar by itself becomes rather gooey and can be poured at over 200 degrees. So I have to wonder if you just happened to have gathered asphalt binding materials

He did, but in a big enough sample, some of those will also inevitably be extraterrestrial in origin. Falling stuff from space is not new and will be found at any level on or in the ground, in any environment. Some started out very tiny and sifts down through the atmosphere as dust.

As you mentioned, the only way you'd truly know if they are legitimate meteorites is to have tbem test. How are they tested? Who would you send them to? Is this a viable/affordable process in which you could do a follow up video on?

Most colleges will have a geology department, or at least a teacher or two. I'd start there and they can probably point you in the right (preferably local) direction, if they're unable to give you the answer.

I’m convinced I have one as it meets the field test criteria, it’s attracted to a neodymium magnet, it has a crust and when you file it, there are thousands of tiny silvery speckles. It’s about two thirds the side of a golf ball. 🤷‍♂️
