A violent explosion and gaping crater occurred west of Logan, Utah on May 1, 1954, preceded by a mysterious streak of light in the sky; geologists ruled out meteorite impact but could not determine the cause.
“The crater was not produced by a conventional meteorite fall. For these reasons, operations have been discontinued!”
