Great video of the Utah “boom” meteor from @SnowbasinResort.
Didn’t know about the sonic boom in Utah this morning until just now; caught the audio on camera, too.
From NWS in Salt Lake City, UT: “In addition to satellite lightning detection picking up on the flash/tail, we’ve now got video confirmation of the meteor heard across northern Utah, southern Idaho and elsewhere this morning.” Fireball Meteor this morning with a “Sonic Boom”!
Utah Big Boom Video
The National Weather Service in Salt Lake confirmed the source of a loud boom heard from northern Utah, southern Idaho and part of Wyoming was a meteor exploding upon entry of Earth’s atmosphere.
Dozens of people have reported hearing a loud boom over the Utah skies. Several said the boom shook their houses or buildings.
Many people across northern Utah heard a loud boom around 8:30 a.m. local time on Saturday when a meteor passed overhead. This was the view from Snowbasin Resort during the incident.

Salt Lake Valley emergency dispatchers said they had also multiple reports of a loud boom, but knew of no incidents that would have been attributed to the noise.
Officials at the University of Utah Seismology Stations were also taking calls about the noise and confirmed it was not caused by an earthquake.
Officials with NWS Salt Lake City said satellite lightning detection systems picked up the flash and tail of the meteor. A Utah resident’s porch video also captured video of the celestial event.
The meteor’s tail was seen through a gap in the clouds for 3-4 seconds as it shot through the sky.
