The skies over [Edmonton, Alberta](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/edmonton-beer-can) lit up last week when a giant burning meteorite fell from space. The excitement over the happening is now growing to feverish levels as Robert Haag, a meteor collector from the Unites States, has offered up the [reward money](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-big-reward) to anyone who can find a [1kg nugget](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nugget-taster) of the meteorite. Better get out there quick guys, the snow is coming and that will make sky-rock hunting a lot more difficult. The original video shot from a police dash camera has over 1.3 million views, this one contains that clip, along with new footage. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.3/10 - Popularity: 2% | Activity: 59% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Viral](https://www.trendhunter.com/viral) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Meteorite Hunting:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop advanced technology or techniques to locate and retrieve meteorite fragments more efficiently. - **Reward Incentives:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create platforms or programs that incentivize individuals to search for valuable objects, such as meteorites, by offering rewards or prizes. - **Online Meteorite Community:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Build an online platform or community that connects meteorite enthusiasts and hunters, allowing them to share information, collaborate, and compete in finding rare meteorite fragments. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Space Exploration:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop advanced space observation technology to track and predict meteorite trajectories more accurately, aiding in the discovery and study of meteorites. - **Tourism and Travel:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create meteorite hunting experiences or packages for tourists, offering them a unique opportunity to search for valuable space rocks and potentially win rewards. - **Online Marketplaces:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Establish online marketplaces dedicated to buying and selling meteorite fragments, connecting collectors, scientists, and enthusiasts from around the world. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Space Rock Cocktails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/space-rock-cocktail.md) - [Celestial Meteorite-Infused Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bulova-lunar-pilot-meteorite.md) - [Meteorite-Infused Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/omega-constellation-meteorite-collection.md) - [Real Life Mermaid Spottings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chicken-of-the-sea.md) - [Artificial Meteor Shower Displays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/meteor-shower-display.md) - [Stone-Like Meteorite Luxe Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/swipe-bag-1.md) - [Meteorite Dial Chronographs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chronomat.md) - [Meteorite Dial Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zenith-chronomaster-sport-meteorite.md) - [Logo Duplicating Contests](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chill-harder-champ.md)
