Occurred : 10/13/2013 02:59 (Entered as : 10/13/13 2:59) Reported: 10/13/2013 3:17:30 AM 03:17 Posted: 10/14/2013 Location: Salt Lake City, UT Shape: Unknown Duration: 5 seconds Characteristics: The object made a sound
Bright flash in the sky followed by a distant explosion about 3 seconds later. It was not lightning. It was not a stormy night and there were no other occurances this evening. The explosion sounded like a gun shot or maybe a crash. This occured at 01:59:39 Near the University Of Utah. My collegue and I reviewed our buildings security footage and were able to catch the flash and the time but not the origin. Our thoughts are that it might have been a meteor and we plan to investigate the location of where we think the sound came from which was near the mouth of Emigration Canyon.
