Seth, I saw this well and it was to the west of where I live in Murray, UT. I think it was above Tooele County and headed about 170 degrees. If anything hit the ground, I think Emery County is a possibility but when I saw it, it was west of Salt Lake County. Spectacular however. Rodger C.

Steep angle, short duration. Assuming that people are accurate when they say their cameras are facing "south" I'm guessing this is an event that occurred high above Emery County or thereabouts. Re the "spots," I've now been sent photos that people are taking with their phonecams. Looks like three or four (depending on the photo) high altitude balloons of some kind. Supposedly shot around 12:30 PM today. I'm telling reporters there's no relationship between these dots (whatever they are) and the fireball.

I've just watched dozens of them, highly reflective and easily visible when close to my line of sight with the sun. They are either windborne seeds or insects.

Nothing but blue sky around the sun from West Valley. Using 15x70mm binocular with Baader filters as well.
Nice big sunspot, however.

KSL just rang saying they have reports of 3 white spots near the Sun. Anyone here seeing them?
