Residents of the Kola Peninsula witnessed the fall of a celestial body
similar to the famous Chelyabinsk meteorite on Saturday night. It
flashed at 02:10 am local time and was clearly seen in the sky. However,
no sound of explosions was heard. Officials say that the nature of the
celestial body is unknown.
A suspected meteorite explosion has been recorded by citizens of the northern Russian city of Murmansk.
Multiple drivers with dash cams out on the streets of the 300,000-people city at 2.10am on Saturday noticed a bright blue trail speed across the night sky, then explode while still in the air.

Most observers identified the object as a meteorite, though officials have neither confirmed it nor said where the fragments are likely to have landed. Others speculated that the object may have been space debris, re-entering the atmosphere.
