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.

"This is an amusing hoax."

Actually, I wasn't amused. "Amazed" would a better word, amazed at the number of people who fell for it.
