This video, which was filmed yesterday (December 15), shows a meteorite illuminating the night sky and falling on the ground like a "fireball" in Jinhua, Zhejiang province. No injury was reported.

The fireball seen from a dash cam video crossed the sky for just a few seconds and fell far away while burning, with a brightness that was brighter than a full moon. Some unburned meteorite fragments were found in Chengtou Village, Pujiang County, Jinhua.

The crater, about 8 centimeters in diameter, was later found on the concrete floor at the gate of a farmer's house in the village. The meteorite found measured 8 centimeters in length and weighed 1.7 kilograms.

It is understood that the meteor was too big to be burnt up at high altitude so it then entered the Earth's atmosphere, producing dazzling light.

Zhang Baolin, a senior meteorite expert at the Beijing Planetarium and a science expert at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, said to the local media that the meteorite probably came from the asteroid belt between Jupiter and Mars.

Zheng Yongchun, deputy director of the Space Science Communication Expert Studio and a science expert, made a preliminary judgment after seeing the meteorite fragment that the meteorite is 4.6 billion years old, older than all the rocks on Earth.

12月15日傍晚，浙江杭州、金华等地上空出现“火流星”，一团火球从天空划过，一边燃烧边向远方坠落，亮度超过满月，并且有未燃烧完的陨石碎片在金华浦江县城头村找到。
当地多个居民的行车记录仪拍下了陨落瞬间，天上有一团火一样的东西，短短几秒划过，速度非常快。
还有在杭州西湖边游玩的游客，也无意之中抓拍到了流星划过西湖上空一幕。
金华市浦江县城头村一位居民家的监控记录下了火流星坠落瞬间，光亮先是照亮了整个夜空，然后有陨石坠落地面冒出火花，随后是一声巨响，房屋有震动感。对此，浦江县檀溪镇城头村村委副书记介绍，“火球”坠落在村中一农户门口水泥地上，砸出的坑直径约8厘米，没有砸到人。经测量，该陨石长度为8厘米，重1.7公斤。
截至目前，潭溪镇又有另外两块陨石被发现，分别在距离城头村不远的寺前村和毛店村。
据了解，火流星的出现是因为它的流星体质量较大（质量大于几百克），进入地球大气后来不及在高空燃尽而继续闯入稠密的低层大气，以极高的速度和地球大气剧烈摩擦，产生出耀眼的光亮。
北京天文馆资深陨石专家、中国科学院老专家讲师团科普专家张宝林介绍，陨石主要有石陨石、铁陨石和石铁陨石三种。根据外观判断，此次坠落的陨石应该是一块普通球粒石陨石。陨石边燃烧边坠落，在空中就爆炸碎裂成多个小块，剩余部分可能降落在了其他地方。和大多数坠落在地球上的陨石一样，这块陨石碎片很可能也来自木星和火星之间的小行星带。
空间科学传播专家工作室副主任、科普专家郑永春看到陨石碎片后初步判断，这块陨石来自46亿年前，比地球上所有石头都古老。
