Scientists search for meteor after reports of bright ‘fireball’ over the Salt Lake valley

Scientists across Utah are searching for a meteor that fell over the Salt Lake valley Saturday night. A dash camera from a KSL TV viewer captured the meteor as it went behind the mountains in Ogden. “What we call that is a fireball,” said Jason Trump, the education programs supervisor at Clark Planetarium. “This had a green glow to it, and it traveled across Utah and a lot of people were able to see it in the Salt Lake valley area.”
