00:00Imagine a blazing green ball tearing across the dawn sky above Moscow.

00:04What was it?

00:05A meteor?

00:06A satellite?

00:07Or something else entirely?

00:08At dawn on October 27, 2025, people across Moscow and nearby regions witnessed a dramatic

00:15sight.

00:23Videos circulated online as commuters paused in awe.

00:26The color wasn't typical white or red.

00:28It was vivid green.

00:30Scientists suggest that the green hue likely comes from the burning of metals, like nickel

00:34or magnesium, as an object enters Earth's atmosphere.

00:38This kind of phenomenon resembles the famous 2013 Chelyabinsk meteor over Russia, though

00:44in that case, the object caused damage and injuries.

00:47Fortunately, in Moscow's case, no damage or injuries were reported.

00:52What people saw may well have been a small meteoroid burning up, or possibly debris from

00:56a defunct satellite.

00:58Either way, it's a vivid reminder of how objects from space continue to make spectacular

01:03appearances above us.

01:05The sky isn't as quiet as we might think.

01:07So next time you glance up at dawn or dusk and catch a flash of green, you'll know.

01:12That could be nature's show.

01:14Or space's surprise.
