The meteor looks like a bright star in the sky.
Moscow: A meteor shower has caused explosions in the lower atmosphere above central Russia and the Urals region, blowing out windows and causing injuries.
‘‘There was a meteor shower, without fragments falling to the ground,’’ an emergencies ministry spokesman told the Interfax news agency.
Reuters reported that a powerful blast rocked the Urals region with bright objects falling from the sky.

"It was definitely not a plane," an emergency official said, without elaborating.

The Russian interior ministry said people had been injured by flying glass at a school in Chelyabinsk. No other casualty information was yet available.
Local residents reported witnessing burning objects in the sky of the Chelyabinsk and Sverdlovsk regions.

"Preliminary indications are that it was a meteorite rain," an emergency official told RIA-Novosti. "We have information about a blast at 10,000-metre altitude. It is being verified."
A witness in Chelyabinsk reported hearing a huge blast early in the morning and feeling a shockwave in a 19-storey building in the town centre.
The sounds of car alarms and breaking windows could be heard in the area, the witness said, and mobile phones were working intermittently.

The trace from a falling object could be seen in Yekaterinburg, some 200 kilometers (125 miles) southeast of Chelyabinsk, another witness said.
A meteoroid is a boulder-sized piece of rock that causes a meteor, or visible trace, as it enters the atmosphere. Pieces that survive on the ground are known as meteorites.

I'm surprised you are willing to admit that.

That first video was sick. Was it a cop car or something? I wonder why it was video taping in the first place.

A lot of Russians have dash cams due to their insurance laws IIRC. Not sure if it was a dash cam because I watched the 2nd video.
