A fireball disintegrates into a number of pieces with a dazzling flash. The glaring white tail remains for two hours and is captured on film by a number of residents.
MOSCOW, January 18 (Sputnik) – An unidentified object flew over the city of Blagoveshchensk in the Russian Far East, breaking apart and leaving a blazing trail across the sky on Sunday.
An alleged meteor or comet, as some local residents suggest, brightened the sky between 6 and 7 a. m. (9-10 p.m. GMT, January 17) in the Amur Region.
"It looked like a plane's trail but way bigger and brighter," a witness claimed.
After streaking through the sky, the object exploded, disintegrating into a number of pieces with a dazzling flash.
"At 6:40 [9:40 p. m. GMT, January 17] the object exploded, but the sound came in after eight minutes. It was quite loud", a resident said.

Officials have not provided any comment on the event.
The fireball caused a firestorm on Russian social media, with some claiming it to be a crashed celestial body and others saying it was a rocket. Some joked it was a "brother of the Chelyabinsk meteorite".In February 15, 2013, a 10,000-ton meteorite hit the Earth near the Russian city of Chelyabinsk. Its explosion inflicted damage on the infrastructure and injured 1,500 people with glass shattered by the shockwave."Метеоритом" над Дальним Востоком могла быть вторая ступень ракеты "Falcon 9"! #метеорит #falcon9 pic.twitter.com/9TbV0TmN7U— Astro Channel (@AstroChannel1) 18 января 2015
