BOOM! Here are some of the videos that captured the sound and sight of a meteor flying across northern Utah skies today. We spoke with some experts on the topic:
The sound was heard and felt just before 8:30 a.m., with reports coming in from people who say their homes shook following the boom.Seismologists confirmed that the event was not an earthquake.
Many also theorized that the noise was a sonic boom produced from aircraft nearby, possibly from Hill Air Force Base. However, in a tweet sent later Saturday, Gov. Spencer Cox said the noise was not from military aircraft.Robert Lunsford with the American Meteor Society said it’s rare to hear the sound created by a meteor.
“You’ve got a big chunk of rock flying through space, and sometimes they even break up," added Duke Johnson with the Clark Planetarium."And then you can get multiple booms, and I saw that the Weather Service did have two different blimps on the radar from this thing so it appears that it may have broken up.
