When hundreds of people witness a spectacular night time fireball over Salt Lake City, Steve and Geoff drop everything and rush to Utah. After days of searching and communicating with their Doppler radar expert, Rob Matson, the guys are horrified when they realize that all meteorites produced by the giant fireball must have landed deep inside the U.S. military's top secret Dugway Proving Ground - an area so clandestine it is nicknamed Area 52.
Geoff and Steve must go all the way to the Pentagon in an attempt to gain access to the classified military facility ... before they can continue the search for recently-fallen meteorites, which would be a treasure trove for academia and collectors alike.

I was sent to a wilderness therapy program in January 2011. It was in Utah, and we stayed very close to the perimeter of this area. One night, i was lying halfway out of my tarp shelter. I saw what i processed to be a comet or meteor streaking across the sky, but like, VERY close to me. We were on a mountain, and i saw it shoot across at the level where the horizon met the ground of the mountain i was lying on. It lit up the whole sky. Like a giant fireball. When staff came to my shelter, i was freaking out and asking them about the meteor and they just looked at me strangely and said they didn’t see anything. I asked if they saw the sky get bright or anything and they told me they hadn’t. I asked if they were shining flashlights over in the area i had seen the light, and they said no, they had been in the other direction. None of the other campers saw anything either. It doesn’t even make sense what happened, but I saw something that looked like fire fill the whole sky with light as it quickly shot across the horizon. And it was right outside this site. To note: i didn’t feel or hear anything make an impact

Extraordinary! What a marvelous description, thank you. If a meteorite does land close to you, observers typically report hearing loud "thunder" or a sound like cannons as it slows down in the atmosphere and / or fragments. So, it it was a fireball (potential meteorite) that you saw -- which sounds likely to me -- it might have burned up or landed further away than it seemed. Either way, I am enthusiastically envious of your experience. Thank you for posting -- Geoff

Nice one Geoff! I don’t actually think I’ve seen that one yet! Will you be posting all episodes?

@GeoffNotkin 4 года назад

Wonderful! I wish there was one that *I* hadn't seen yet! ;) That would make it all new and exciting again. I will most definitely be posting all 23 episodes. Thank you for watching.

Excellent attempt! Amazing landscape. There's no such thing as failure. Just trying makes you a winner.

So true, thank you! This was the first episode of "MM" in which we failed to find a meteorite. The network didn't want to air "Dugway" and I lobbied hard to change their minds ... because it was real and shows that, just as in life, there is not a treasure to to found at the end of EVERY expedition. As such, I particularly appreciate your kind comment. Cheers and best wishes : )
