World War 3: Horror as flash in sky prompts fears of US attack on North Korea<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

A SPOOKY bright flash turned night into day over a huge area of Russia, prompting fears the US had launched a strike on North Korea.<\/span><\/p>\n

The explosion of light accompanied by the “ground shaking” was also blamed on a UFO visitation or a meteor exploding in the atmosphere.<\/span><\/p>\n

Russian officials and scientists immediately denied that had been a Russian missile test or any reported space rock crashing to earth.<\/span><\/p>\n

Videos show how for a few moments the dark night sky – just after midnight in the Urals – was lit up, turning a vivid blue as if on a bright summer’s day.<\/span><\/p>\n

The phenomenon was seen and felt over thousands of miles in Russia, but was especially evident in three regions Bashkortostan, Udmurtia, and Tatarstan.<\/span><\/p>\n

“It lit the night sky from side to side, making it look brighter than daylight,” said one account.<\/span><\/p>\n

“We saw this while driving – there was a vibration and the sound of explosion in the sky, awesome,” said Artyom Russkikh, a reported by The Siberian Times, which collected witness statements of the flash on the night following Russian Orthodox Christmas Day this week . He asked: “What was it? A meteor, a rocket from space, UFO, North Korea?”<\/span><\/p>\n

Firaya Zaripova commented on the light show in the early hours of Monday morning: “Probably it was the testing of some military weapon, if even the ground was shaking.’<\/span><\/p>\n

But there were denials Vladimir Putin had ordered any military tests that could have produced this dramatic scene.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ilnaz Shaykhraziev said: “I saw the flash in Menzelinsk. There was also the sound of an explosion and then a vibration, I felt it.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Another witness Denis Rozenfeld said: “A meteor burned out, not reaching the lower layers of the atmosphere. Before this it exploded and split into many small pieces.<\/span><\/p>\n

“That is why there was such a sound, which came to us in a few seconds. It’s a funny coincidence that such a rare phenomenon for our region has happened right over Christmas.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Reports of similar flashes have occurred three times in 12 years in Russia. Yet experts were split on the cause of the flash.<\/span><\/p>\n

Yuri Nefefyev, director of the Engelhardt Astronomical Observatory, claimed atmospheric electricity was behind the eerie night-to-day explosion of light.<\/span><\/p>\n

“There are a huge number of effects linked to atmospheric electricity, many of which are not properly studied because of how rarely they occur,” he said.<\/span><\/p>\n

Astronomers from Kazan Federal University in Tatarstan insisted there was a space link.<\/span><\/p>\n

“This was a bolide, when all substance burns in atmosphere and doesn’t reach Earth,’ said Dr Sergey Golovkin, of the university’s Physics Institute.<\/span><\/p>\n

“It is accompanied by a loud bang.<\/span><\/p>\n

“It could have been a fragment of a spacecraft that burnt, but normally it takes them more time to enter the atmosphere, thus they can be observed for longer.<\/span><\/p>\n

“This was a bolide that burnt in the dense layers of the atmosphere which is why it was seen over such a big territory.<\/span><\/p>\n

“We didn’t register the flash because there was strong blizzard on this night.”<\/span><\/p>\n
