Creating one of the most spectacular and surreal scenes in recent times, a blazing meteorite unexpectedly fell from the sky and crashed into Indonesia’s Mount Merapi volcano. The historical event occurred on May 27, when it was caught on a CCTV camera at Megadata facility in Kalitengah Kidul, Jogjakarta which is where the mountain is located. Luckily, at the same time, a local Indonesian identified as Gunarto Song was also taking photos of Mount Merapi volcano and caught the meteor in all its glory.
Speaking to Indonesian Media outlet Kumparan later, he said that he took the photos from a location in Batu Alien in the Kaliadem Cangkringan district last Thursday. Explaining his venture, he said that he was all prepped to capture the mountain amidst a backdrop of full moon when he saw the meteor crashing and clicked it. “Suddenly there was a bright ray of light as if falling from above onto the top of Merapi volcano,” Terming the whole event as “super bright and fast:, he aplained that he took at 4 seconds exposure when he shot it.

Million in one shot.
Definitely a three point shot.
Didn’t see what the thumbnail shows. Looked like a lightning strike close by.
The “meteorite” was actually one of the military’s UAPs.
If it had been big enough it could have reignited the volcano by blasting a hole deep enough to reach the lava below.
God does play golf...
It’s too up and down

Depends on perspective...
You Win!!
Was that a Titleist?
Yes. I could go into detail about angles of entry and the odds of going into the volcano but it would be boring.
It is a most amusing hoax. The vast majority of meteors are burned up in the very high atmosphere and do not make it to earth as a still glowing body. If they did it would make a hell of a bang we would have read about or if near suffered. Such meteor would be an exception in the extreme and to then fall into an active volcano where a camera man was set up to film all defies all odds.
This is an amusing hoax.
where’s the smoke
Fore!
It’s just lined up with the volcano. If it had hit it, as the title implies, there would as also be visible ejecta from the impact.
Maybe Rod of God.
Another lucky photo. A fellow was just testing his camera setup on this galaxy ( NGC 613) when a supernova blew up. You can see it near the bottom right.
Closer to the equator.
