This happened last night in Salt Lake City:
SALT LAKE CITY -- A fast moving meteor lit up the night skies over most of Utah just after midnight Wednesday. Moments later, the phones lit up at KSL as people across the state called to tell us what they saw and ask what it was.
Utahns are still talking Wednesday about what scientists are calling a "remarkable midnight fireball." The source of all the excitement was basically a rock, falling from space. When a meteor enters the atmosphere, it gives off a lot of heat and light.
Look at these amazing videos of this phenomenon.
Some thought it was an atomic bomb.
Me? Sound asleep. Damn damn damn.
