dazzling orange light then pulsating yellow and
white as the flash engulfed the entire sky.
A huge flash in the night sky over Russia is
raising suspicions after the authorities refuse to
comment on its cause.

explosion.

sound, according to eyewitnesses, although

the event.
The mysterious glow was also filmed by the
teenagers from Yekaterinburg on a mobile
camera.

the sky on the day of the flash.

light on the dramatic eruption.
The regional office of the Emergencies Ministry
refused to comment on the happening.
