Meteor or nuclear weapon

[Independent voter]

A news report on the radio said the origin was on the ground so there were thinking some kind of bomb.

Meteor or nuclear weapon

I'm gonna go with meteor. A nuclear weapon would be more intense initially and fade out instead of fading up and down.

Please don't use memes.

Or an explosion/fire that just looked weird in the thick fog/cloud layer. If it was a meteor there should have been much more noise, I think.

Well, in the first video you can clearly see that the red light was emitting long before the big bang. I dunno how it fits into the whole wmd or meteor theory.

[Vargur]

Atmospheric explosion.

Russia is so weird!

[Shalcker]

Obviously aliens looking for their ship that exploded in same region last year!

[Tradewind]

there's some Bond level villain in russia with a giant space magnet, pulling down meteors and shit trying to kill us all.

[Reeve]

Very large sprite?

I think meteor is the most likely answer.

[Puremallace]

Not nuclear or it would have lasted longer. No sure. maybe mid air meteor explosion?

It's from 5 days ago so I guess it's nothing amazing enough to report on in the news appearently.

It was not a nuke since it starts dim then goes bright over a few seconds, a nuke is pretty much instantaneous and is blinding (literally).

A skinny guy with great hair was taking care of an atmos issue.

It's begun..../melodramatic tune here

Meteor, for sure. It blinks a little bit then suddenly bursts into bright light.

Seems even the solar system wants to send Russia a message.

Can anyone post a link? It doesn't show up on my ipad.

Plus everyones detectors would be going apeshit by now.

But damn, thats bright light.

Just imagine how paralyzed from fear the ancient people mustve been when shit like that happened.

About 2 weeks ago I witnessed a very close starfall. When I say close, I mean around 3-4 km's away from my location. It wasn't big by any measure, but was big enough and close enough that I could see the orange glow of the flames as it burned and it briefly lit up the sky in the direction I was looking at.

Meteors of large sizes can cause INTENSE light, as show by the meteor that fell in Russia previously. This looks very much like a meteor that's breaking apart in the atmosphere, little explosions and bursts of light followed by the major body burning up. The clouds probably helped make it brighter.
