WHAT CAUSED THE EXPLOSION?

The noise was heard around 8:30 pm and it was so loud that it even shook some windows, according to several witnesses. According to Fox 13, the areas reporting the explosion include: Syracuse, West Valley City and Park City.

People on social media began to theorize about what had caused the cacophony, to the point of thinking that it had been an earthquake and even that it was military planes that had crossed the sound barrier, as well as many other theories. The truth is that later, all these theories were knocked down by the government.

WAS IT A METEORITE?

After the incident Governor Spencer Cox, tweeted that he could hear the explosion and that «it was not an earthquake and it is not related to our military installations (sic)». Other people believed that the explosion was caused by a meteor burning up in the atmosphere, but all this was still unsolved.

In turn, the National Weather Service tweeted an image of a weather map, which shows two large red dots near the area where the rumble was heard. “Strengthening the meteor theory for this morning’s #boom in #Utah, the two reddish pixels shown over Davis and Morgan counties are from the GOES-17 Lightning Mapper, but are not associated with evidence of thunderstorm activity in satellite or radar.” Filed Under: Mysterious Salt Lake Explosion
