of late last night , a suspected meteor tore through the skies over the northern Russian city of Murmansk .
Some dashcams purportedly enchant the fireball on film , but we ca n’t aid marvel if this footage is in reality real . Here ’s what we know :
Russia Today is reportingthat most beholder identify the hell of light as a meteor , or as space debris re - entering the atmosphere , but officials have yet to count in on the object ’s identity , or where fragments are likely to have land .
Whatever it is , the human dynamo is clearly reminiscent of the massive meteorite that streak through the skies above Chelyabinsk , Russialast February , injuring hundreds and incurring upward of $ 30 - million in damages . There ’s no news thus far that this cockcrow ’s meteorite conduct to any restitution or injuries . accord to RT , no sounds of explosion were heard .
At least two machine driver in Murmansk deal to appropriate the fireball on dashcam , which ripped through the sky Saturday break of day at 2:10 a.m. local time . Here it is from a couple of angles [ Edit : embed on these videos has evidently been handicapped ; you ’ll have to click through to the YouTube channel to view them ] :

Now , we ’d include more videos but … we ca n’t observe any . Which , we ’ll be good , sort of micturate us inquire if these video are fake . We ca n’t help but notice that these video are being hosted on a YouTube television channel name “ Meteorite and Murmansk , ” which also has us doubting their authenticity . On the other hand , the Lyrid shooting star cascade – the first dependable shower of the time of year – is slated to peak in just a few 24-hour interval ’ time . Is it potential last Nox ’s blazing ball of light was justa Lyrid ball of fire come too soon ?
We ’ve attempt tracking down more news , and videos , of the meteor elsewhere , with footling luck . It ’s possible this story is just breaking , but it ’s also potential that it ’s a sham . We ’ll keep you update as we learn more .
