A burning fireball was spotted in the sky over Sverdlovsk
On May 2, 2026, a burning fireball was noticed in the sky over the Sverdlovsk region on the night of May 1. According to Vladilen Sanakoev, an engineer at the Ural Federal University training observatory, such phenomena are normal. Most likely, it was a meteoroid.
— A meteoroid is something smaller than an asteroid. When it enters the atmosphere, it becomes a meteor. If it falls to Earth, it is a meteorite. But, as a rule, the fragments fall in the forest. And it is impossible to find anything, — Vladilen Sanakoev told the publication "KP-Ekaterinburg."
