Meteorite 'photographed' hitting Earth

"The meteorite, which could have been as small as a grain of sand, would have been travelling about 30,000km/h." (Via The Anomalist.)

Wouldn't it be weird if you were walking along with a friend, minding your own business, when suddenly -- CRACK! -- a grain-sized meteorite impacted your friend's skull, exiting the forehead and sending a spume of semi-liquefied brain all over the sidewalk?

Maybe if I'm really lucky I'll get to see that someday.
