Rare daytime fireball seen over Utah mountains

It's a UFO no more. An unidentified flying object spotted over the mountains between Salt Lake and Tooele has been identified as a rare daytime fireball; a meteor big enough and close enough to be spotted when the sun's still out.

We had several e-mails, and so did NASA's ambassador to Utah Patrick Wiggins. We asked him what conditions need to be in place to see a daytime meteor. He said, "Size would be part of it, certainly how fast it's going, if it was going really slow for a meteor; that is, it wouldn't get bright enough."

At least one of the people who e-mailed KSL was also able to hear the fireball. Wiggins says that's an indication that the meteor was very close to the ground compared to what you normally encounter. Wiggins said, "Typical meteors, they are so far away that you can't hear them. So if, in fact, these people were able to actually hear a sonic boom, that would indicate that it was pretty low in the sky."

Wiggins added, "Meteors are happening literally all the time -- 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Most of them, however, are not bright enough to be seen during the day, so it sounds like this was one of the exceptions.

"I've seen a few daytime ones, but I've never seen and heard one during the day, so they lucked out! This is really neat."

If you saw the meteor and took a picture, submit it using the link above and to the right.

The question is, is that FIREBALL part of Project Greenstar and the Staged Alien Invasion, including Project Blue Beam?

OR, is that FIREBALL actually a "Secret Government" satellite that perhaps the Kuiper Belt Aliens possibly shot out of the atmosphere?

NASA certainly never bothers to tell the general public AKA, the Sleeple Sheeple People anything, however something about that FIREBALL is certainly intriguing.

Last fall, Richard and I saw something like this in the sky near us. We were raking leaves (I think) and heard this loud BOOM. When we went and looked in the sky, we could see this long trail of smoke (?) You could actually follow it as it went down. At the point where we couldn't see it anymore (it had gone down in the distance), we saw a bright red sky. I thought it was a plane or something that had crashed. We searched the news - both on t.v. and on line - but there was no mention of anything at all, which I found really strange.
