A powerful blast that shattered windows and apparently left a smoky trail across the sky in eastern Russia may have been caused by a meteor or fireball, according to Russian news reports.
The strange sight and blast occurred early Friday (Feb. 15) in the Russian region Ural Mountains and is initially being attributed to ameteor explosion in the atmosphere by authorities, according to a Reuters report.
Reuters cited a report by the Russian news agency RIA-Novosti, which stated that officials had detected a mid-air blast at an altitude of about 32,800 feet (10,000 meters). It was reportedly seen across Russia's eastern Chelyabinsk and Sverdovsk regions, Reuters reported.
