Russian dashcam captures meteorite falling to earth
The Russian meteor is not as bright as last year’s.
LAST YEAR, THE world was enthralled as a meteor crashed on to Chelyabinsk in Russia, injuring over 1,000 people.
Yesterday, videos emerged from the north-western Russian city of Murmansk, showing a similar flash of light.
The impact of Saturday’s impact wasn’t nearly as dramatic, however.
Where the Chelyabinsk meteor blew out windows and set off car alarms, Murmansk residents didn’t report a bang.
Emergency services were not alerted and an official said that the meteors burn up in the atmosphere.
