Years ago they were using howitzers to shoot down avalanches at a ski resort above Salt Lake City. The shooters missed the mountain and the shell hit a house in a suburb on the other side of the hill.

Guessing this is a meteor.

It was a 75mm recoiless rifle at Snowbird. A round went over the mountain and hit a house under construction in the next valley. Theybreplaced it. Lol.
