A meteor has exploded over Russia creating quite a show and shaking several communities.  Check out these videos.

Just an FYI: It is somewhat common in the new Russia that everyone has a video camera in the front of their car.

This is how the recent plane crash was caught on video slamming into the expressway.  In this case a meteor.

Man that would be scary .  I can see why some thought they might be under attack.

Occasionally there will be reports of a mysterious "boom" from coastal towns and the Navy will deny that there were any planes in the area at the time that might have gone supersonic.

Wonder if a meteor like this one over the horizon could be the explanation?  Maybe these things are more common than we know.

I'm more surprised that they have sunny days in Russia.
