Air sirens did initially sound in the city, as officials thought it a NASA satellite falling or a incoming missile, however the space agency denied that the bright flash was a satellite of theirs.
A BRIGHT FLASH lit up Kyiv’s sky last night which the Ukrainian Space Agency say was “probably related” to the entry of meteorite into Earth’s atmosphere.
“What exactly it was — only experts can find out,” the military administration’s chief Sergiy Popko said this morning. He referred to Wednesday’s incident as “the fall of an unknown aerial object” and said its glow had “caused excitement and concern among the people of Kyiv”. But a NASA spokesman told AFP that this was not the case as the satellite in question was “still in orbit”.
