Huge Flash Of Light In Russia

Flack88 · 18 Nov 2014 at 22:04

A huge flash lit up the early evening darkness, as shown by images taken from a dashcam on a road close to Yekaterinburg. Emergency services refuse to comment cause of extraordinary blast in the dark sky.

Who knows what this was, strange to say the least. :eek:

Looks almost like a meteor but the duration seems to long and intense.

Vids HERE and HERE.

UFO? Meteor? Blast?

That's a nuke test without a doubt.

Another Meteor I guess

People in Cheshire are tweeting/facebooking about seeing a fireball!

Either that or one of their rusty nukes has went off by accident.

That's clearly the sun, quick rise and set.

The sun doesn't mess around these days.

Strange thing is there were no reported booms or explosions.

No, I'm not

Either a meteor or is it possible for an extremely large solar flare to present itself like that?

Looks like a distant nuclear explosion...although perhaps dissipates too quickly for that and too close to a populated area?

Could be an industrial accident of some kind - gas / oil? The light seems to start from the mid sky level and gets more intense...

Somebody post the "Aliens" guy.....I can't be bothered

Similar kind of duration and modulation but being able to see the light like that you'd normally be able to hear it also afaik even for an atmospheric test.

Looks awesome whatever it was.
