Mysterious burst of light over Russia leaves scientists, locals guessing
On Friday evening, a yellow flash filled the skies over Russia's sparsely populated Urals region. Was it a meteor? A rocket launch? No one seems to know.

An enormous and as yet totally unexplained fireball eclipsed the skies for more than 10 seconds over Russia's sparsely populated Urals region last Friday – and news of the incident is only now trickling out.
Several locals posted YouTube videos taken from dashcams and smartphones,
showing an apparently soundless, bright orange sunburst-like explosion
erupting behind evening cloud cover near the town of Rezh, in Sverdlovsk region, about 930 miles east of Moscow.
Russian media inquiries to emergency services, the military, and
academic astronomers have yielded a host of theories but no hard answers
as to the cause of the blast.
According to the E1.Ru news portal in Yekaterinburg,
Russian military sources deny having anything to do with the blast,
even though city officials believe ammunition disposal would be the
likeliest explanation for the long, slow orange-tinged fireball. Space
officials also insist it has nothing to do with them, even though the
area lies on a launch pathway from Plesetsk cosmodrome. Rockets have blown up on take-off over the region in the past. A leading unofficial Russian space news website says the last launch from Plesetsk was in October and the next will occur in December.Recommended: Sochi, Soviets, and tsars: How much do you know about Russia?
"Looks like a falling bolide,"
or meteorite, which evaded detection by the usual array of watchers
before hitting our atmosphere, astronomer Viktor Grokhovsky told 66.Ru.
But
super-hot meteorites plowing through the atmosphere typically explode
with a blinding white flash, say experts. That's exactly what happened
in February 2013, when a 10,000-ton space rock blew up amid a series of sonic booms and blinding explosions in the sky over the Urals city of Chelyabinsk.
Chelyabinsk has since turned its meteor strike into a tourist attraction, organizing tours to the multiple places hit by the space fragments and auctioning some of the larger ones off to collectors.Depending on what the explanation for Rezh's mysterious fireball turns out to be, it might find a way to cash in too.

I'm wondering if they were firing up an Electron particle beam generator for target practice. These were developed by the U.S. and Russia during the 1970s. It is usually generated by a small nuclear device to create power surge big enough to direct a weapon to destroy a whole flotilla of ships or buildings at once from quite a distance away. However, most of these were positioned in space during star wars and Reagan to destroy targets here on earth like whole cities in one burst.
This is the ideal first strike weapon because there are no missiles, just whole cities gone with each burst from space, land or an aircraft. Imagine 20 of these above a country disguised inside planes of some sort or in space. 20 timed releases of electron particle beams would be instantaneous with no missiles, no warnings at all in a first strike. 20 cities or 20 military installations would be gone in one instant with no warning, (Zero).
Imagine for example a series of Russian planes at 80,000 to 100,000 feet in altitude and capable of taking out from beyond the 20 mile ocean limit all major cities on the east and west coast of the U.S. in one instant because of perfect timing.
This is the star wars capability of 20 electron particle beam generators from air or space. One minute the cities are there and the next they are all gone with 100 million or more people dead or gone instantly.
How does any country deal with that? This is one potential problem with Electron particle beam generators used all at once.
However, likely those planes would all be destroyed or crash afterwords from the firing because of the necessary small nuclear blast to generate that much power instantaneously. However, then you just fly them like drones and no pilots die. The old Russian nuclear bombers that we see flying around a lot could become drones and so no Russian pilots would die pulling this off seamlessly.
There don't have to be missiles in this the new Star Wars era we now live in. Old ways of protecting our nations won't be effective today. This isn't another world war II we appear to be going into.
