On September 10, 2014, the residents of Smolyan could observe a strange atmospheric phenomenon. At an angle of about 45 degrees to the ground, a trail from an unidentified object stretched. According to eyewitnesses, the fallen celestial body resembled a meteorite.
“It burned very quickly and brightly … As I understand it, he flew somewhere either to Kiselevka, or to the cemetery on the 7th,” Dmitry Gorbylev, a witness to the fall of an unknown object, who was on Smolenskaya at the time of the incident, shared his impressions on social networks ring road.
The fall of the meteorite near Smolensk occurred presumably at 8-40 am. No comments have been received from the official departments on this issue yet.
The story of an unidentified celestial body over Smolensk caused a heated discussion on the Internet. Recall that yesterday, September 10, at about 8:40 am, astonished eyewitnesses could observe an amazing phenomenon: at an angle of 45 degrees, the sky drew a trail from an unidentified object, which was rapidly approaching the ground.
As offhand, the main eyewitness of the incident, Dmitry Gorbylev from Smolyan, who actually posted information about the event on the Internet, presumably the object was supposed to fall in the Kiselevka area. Among other things, Dmitry managed to capture an amazing phenomenon, the images also instantly flew around the entire network. People who are versed in astronomy recognized a meteorite in an unusual object.
However, small Smolensk publications immediately tried to refute the version of a meteorite flying over the city. Some refer to the Ministry of Emergency Situations, which claim that there have been no victims and there is no destruction in the city, others nod towards the Smolensk planetarium, where they generally answer evasively, that maybe, of course, there was a meteorite, or maybe, of course, it was not. is not known for certain.
In the meantime, we managed to contact a direct eyewitness Dmitry Gorbylev and find out some details about how the mysterious phenomenon proceeded.

“It burned almost to the middle of the black trail, then just a black trail,” he told us. Agree - it doesn't look like a traditional trail from an airplane. The track angle in relation to the ground does not correspond to the aircraft one.
“Judging by the description, it looks like a meteorite,” says Pavel Vasilyevich Petrusev, an astronomy teacher with forty years of experience. - Different space objects fall to the Earth every day, there is nothing extraordinary in the very fact of a meteorite falling. This meteorite most likely burned up in flight or disintegrated into very small fragments."
It would seem that the story ends, but history has in store for us more stories from eyewitnesses.
“Yesterday (September 9 - editor's note) I was in the Readov forest somewhere closer to 9 o'clock in the evening with a group of friends, we went out to a meadow and saw how an object in the shape of a ball flew out of the forest,” shares his amazing history of Artem Goncharov, - he took off sharply, in about seconds he was at about the height of a ten-story building, hung for 3 seconds and disappeared."
“Exactly the same footprints against the background of the moon” on September 10 saw Yulia Malieva: “First one, then the second!” Her words are confirmed by Yulia Gorobets: “Yes, yes, I saw it too!”.
