[James Lancashire]

Recently reported online (Metro, HuffingtonPost) but a bit of digging found a report with a few more details

The obect is seen in the shorter clip further down the article in the top-left camera shot around 0:14 with the whoops around 0:20 presumably from other skydivers in the jump

Hi James,

There has been a lot of discussion about this and it is pretty unlikely that this is a meteorite. The Minor Planets Mailing List discussion on this is worth reading. You can find it here.

Nick.
