TUNGUSKA!!
Not my fault.
The caption says it was from a gas truck explosion.
I say BS. It looks like the flash from a nuke test. I’ve watched enough documentary videos on these things to think so.
Big fire on the ground.
Can anyone actually expect the Russian official authorities to tell the truth about what it is?
Something on the ground was taking place. Reference post three.
I would caution folks not to see this as a massive ball in the air. It is a temporary reflection off clouds that lasted a little over five seconds.
Why did so many catch this on video? It is because the human eye could pick up a low grade reflection prior to the massive flare-up.
The brilliance of the flare-up overpowered the cameras that were set to a low light exposure, prior to the flare-up. If the sky had been lit when the videos were started, the cameras would have started off at that light intensity. Then the reflected light would have appeared much more realistically.
I suspect there was something burning on the ground. I also suspect that what we are seeing is the result of that fire causing and explosion.
I can’t say exactly what it is, but these videos are consistant with that type of activity.
A nuclear explosion would have remained brilliant for a much longer period, and those taking the video linked in post three would have been harmed.
You’ll also note no resultant nuclear wind effect. Sorry if that’s not exactly the proper terminology. Perhaps not nuclear shock wave and resultant damage would have been more accurate.
Meteor would have had similar effects, blast area, flash etc.
I would agree except for the video that shows something resembling a fire on the ground. I also note that people had enough time to take out their cameras and begin shooting video, something not likely if on a couple of seconds long had taken place.
In that instance the big ball of fire could be the first thing they would see, what with cloud cover and all.
At least that is my reasoning.
Not a nuke. Light dimmed much too soon.
Too bad the meteor didn’t land on the White House .....purifying it from the Obola evil staunch !!!
I typed too fast.
Meteor would have same effect as a nuke.
Minus the fallout though.

Russians keep their dashboard cameras running at all time as a form of self-protection. That’s why the great car-crash footage comes out of Russia. (Plus they’re mostly drunk and insane.)
