While driving down the road of the central Russian city of Kemerovo, a man by the name of Mikhail Litvinov captured this video of an object leaving behind a large trail of smoke. The video attracted quite a bit of attention shortly after it was uploaded online. When speaking with Russian news site ‘Komsomolskaya’, Mikhail said, “From my side I hope it was a shooting star.”

In an effort to figure out just what exactly this object may have been, journalists for the Russian news site ‘Bloknot’ contacted Russian airborne forces, who said that there were no registered incidents that took place in the skies above Kemerovo during the time of the sighting that involved either crashed aircraft or meteorites.

There are numerous theories on this objects identity. Some say it may have been a burning piece of space junk, others say meteorite, and a few think it might’ve simply been a plane leaving behind a contrail. What do you think? Does this video show an otherworldly object? Or is there a more conventional explanation?
