City of Salt Lake – People are still searching for mementos weeks after a meteor blasted the skies over Utah, but one rock hunter isn’t interested in knowing where they ended up. NASA scientist Peter Jenniskens is attempting to pinpoint their exact origin. As she spoke from the KSL-TV Chopper-5, Jenniskens remarked, “We’re looking for a hole in the ground because the soil here is pretty soft, and it appears like the rocks are just flowing through.”

To identify the bits that dropped through the Salt Flats, he is attempting to determine the trajectory of the meteor that struck Utah last month. A meteorite most certainly fell at this place since it appears something was dug up there. Observations made by Jenniskens while touring Earth. But all that was discovered was an empty hole and no rock. However, this knowledge advances Jennisken’s core objective.

He added, peering across the Salt Flats, “That’s a giant arrow pointing that direction. Jenniskens isn’t concerned with the cost of locating a meteorite fragment or even its composition. He is curious about its origins and the many millions of years of knowledge available to him. Each rock has information on when it departed the asteroid belt and how long it spent in orbit before coming to earth. He does, however, return with more information about where to look, making the journey worthwhile, in his opinion. “To me, that’s great. You can practically touch the sky there. This is the best venue to meet us.
