Video: Meteor explodes In Russia

A Video of sky lighting up over the Russia's Sverdlovsk region Friday calls to mind enormous fireballs that fell over the Chelyabinsk in the early days of 2013 and Murmansk in April. But one expert seems sure that this phenomenon may not be a celestial in origin.

A meteor—watching blog quotes that Marco Langbroek of Dutch Meteor Society: "I doubt that this one is meteor." He also point out that onlookers already seemed to be aware of red glow in sky before flare—up and when light does appear, it is stationary. "For me, it looks like fire or a series of small explosions and a subsequent large explosion or a flash fire reflecting a cloud deck," he concluded.




Local news site suggests that there was an old chemical plant outside nearby town, the said explosion would be consistent with this phenomenon, and local on forum Astronomy wrote that there were reports of military setting off ammunition.
