In the sky above Sochi recorded a bright meteor

Scientists from Krasnodar recorded a bright meteor flying in the sky above Sochi. Space object fell into the sea.

Yesterday, December 15, there is information about the celestial object that crashed into the sea. Eyewitnesses claimed they saw a bright ball flying in the sky. After his fall in the sea he heard a loud Bang. The MOE then denied the information about the meteorite.

Scientists have a different opinion. According to astrophysicists of the Observatory of the Kuban state University, most likely in the sights and was hit by a meteorite the size of 10-15 cm in the fall he burned what you could see strong flash, which can illuminate the area even during the day. Also this is the reason heard sounds, as the meteorite emits strong sounds when passing the atmosphere. This phenomenon is due to the passage close to Earth of a meteor shower, the Geminids. This year has already been a few instances of falling meteorites. But the fear people have nothing, because most of the cosmic bodies burning in the atmosphere.
