A suspected meteor streaking across the sky in the US has been caught on camera.
Residents in northern Utah said they heard a loud "boom" on Saturday morning
South Salt Lake resident Wendi Melling was just heading out the door
when she heard the noise, which she described as a "loud deep booming
sound" followed by a few seconds of rumbling.
"It did sound
similar to sonic booms I've heard before, followed by a short incident
of a sound similar to low rolling thunder," she said.
"This rumbling noise that followed the boom was maybe 3-4 seconds."
Utah Governor Spencer Cox tweeted that his office confirmed it was
not related to any seismic activity or military installations
.
The National Weather Service's Salt Lake City office wrote in a tweet
that its lightning detection mapper likely picked up the meteor's trail
flash.
A light streaking across the sky can clearly be seen in a clip captured by Snowbasin Resort in Utah.
The nine-second video appears to show the meteor soaring over nearby peaks in the morning sun.
