In this episode, host Zubair sits down with Anders Helstrup, the Norwegian skydiver who experienced a once-in-a-lifetime cosmic encounter. What started as a routine skydive in 2012 turned into an unbelievable moment in space history—as a meteorite plummeted past him mid-air, all caught on his helmet-mounted camera.
Experts, including astrophysicist Pål Brekke, confirmed that Anders had filmed a meteorite in its "dark flight" phase—a groundbreaking first in scientific history. But this moment of luck came with great risk. If the 5-kilo meteorite had hit him at 300 km/h, it could have been fatal.
Determined to find the fallen space rock, Anders has spent years searching with experts from the Geological Museum in Oslo, the Norwegian Space Centre, and the Norwegian Meteor Network. Despite the challenges of rugged terrain, his passion for adventure and discovery keeps him going.
Join us as Anders shares his incredible journey—from skydiving thrills to a brush with cosmic fate. His story is a reminder that life’s most unexpected moments can defy all odds.
✨ Tune in now to hear Anders’ remarkable experience and why he believes luck, fate, and adventure are all part of life’s great mystery.
