Residents of Moscow are left absolutely stunned after a mysterious giant green fireball hurtled through the sky at an early hour this morning. The bright glowing giant ball lighting up the sky, was captured by many people and widely shared on social media, as per The Sun.
Witnesses described the sight as something they had never seen before. One commuter said it looked like a “very bright and slow-moving meteor” that left behind a trail of sparks as it moved across the sky. The green fireball was visible for several seconds before bursting into a brighter flame and disappearing into the clouds.
Green fireball caught on camera
The video of this event quickly went viral online, gaining thousands of views. Many people compared this scene with the famous 2013 Chelyabinsk meteor, which exploded in Russia, damaging buildings and causing injuries to over 1,000 people.

What experts believe
Experts believe the bright green light was likely caused by a meteor or space rock entering the Earth’s atmosphere. As it burns up while falling at high speed, the gases and metals inside the rock can create different colors, in this case, a vivid green glow.
Interestingly, this is not the first time a strange fireball has been spotted in Russia. Just last year, a huge white meteor exploded over the region of Yakutia, lighting up the sky and shocking residents in the country’s coldest area.
Similar sightings around the world
The strange sight in Moscow also followed similar reports from the United Kingdom, where people in London, Brighton, and Kent recently saw glowing blue-green fireballs flying through the night sky. One eyewitness in Herne Bay, Kent, captured the moment on his home’s security camera, describing it as “bright, fast, and unlike anything I’ve seen before.”
Mystery continues
These mysterious events have reignited public curiosity about space phenomena and “UFO” sightings. While scientists insist such fireballs are natural occurrences, the glowing green light over Moscow has certainly caught the world’s attention.
For now, experts are continuing to study the footage to confirm whether the dazzling object was a meteor, space debris, or something even more mysterious.
