The ball of light appeared at 22:08 local time in the west, floated to the east, then to the north before it gradually faded away.


At first he thought that it was a sort of radiance but after the unusual ball of light began to expand it became clear that it was not radiance and he became a bit scared before realizing that he probably accidentally took images of the secret launch of a rocket from Plesetsk.



And indeed, Russia did a successful test of its ‘Satan 2’ nuclear missile program. The rocket, (The RS-28 Sarmat) traveled about 5,900 kilometers before hitting its target on the Kura test range, created the odd but beautiful display in the sky.
