Residents of the city of Ust-Kut and neighboring districts of the Irkutsk region witnessed the fall of an object similar to a meteorite. Eyewitnesses note that because of the flash, it became sharply light on the street for a second.

On the evening of April 6, many cameras recorded a bright glow — the administration of the Ust-Kutsky district published a video of the event.

The Astronomical Observatory of Irkutsk State University asks residents of the district to send photos and videos to establish whether it was a meteorite, or a satellite that descended from orbit, or a rocket stage.
