Original Poster: We're up here taking a break 4-wheeling. This shit literally just landed right next to us. 

Hank Green: No, it didn't. It didn't. When I first watched this video, I had the sound off and I was like, "That's definitely not a meteorite." Then I turned the sound on and I was like, "These guys seem very convinced and if they are not convinced and they're lying, then they are very convincing." And so I reached our to my friend Phil Plait "The Bad Astronomer", who hosted Crash Course Chemistry [Astronomy, not chemistry!!] with us who also, when hosting that show, as a thank you gave me this actual meteorite. He said no, because meteorites, in fact, cool off before they hit the ground.

They get very hot as they are slamming through the atmosphere but then 20 miles up or so, they just fall down slowly and during that process they cool off. By the time they hit the ground they are no longer glowing, hot rocks. So that thing that you saw in that video was a rock that was taken out of a fire pit and placed onto the snow to look like it was a meteorite.

And, and, and I thought they were very convincing lies. Very convincing.
