Russia has apparently been hit by another fireball from space.

Footage of what appears to be a meteor streaking across the night sky above northern Russia has surfaced on the Web over the weekend, after drivers with dashcams recorded some sort of explosion over the town of Murmansk at approximately 2:10 Saturday morning local time, according to a report by Russia Today.

Two different videos posted to YouTube show the pitch-black night sky lit up by a bright blue light, presumably a meteor burning up in the atmosphere. Unverified reports from throughout the rea suggested there were no sounds of an explosion.

The latest fireball appears days before the annual peak of the Lyrid meteor shower, expected April 21 and 22.

Saturday's event recalls the substantial meteor strike that happened major event that occurred in the skies over Chelyabinsk, Russia, February 2013, when a space rock about 65 feet in diameter exploded over the town after streaming through the sky at a speed of about 12 miles per second.

When it the 2013 fireball exploded, it generated a burst of energy equivalent to 500 kilotons of TNT, the Guardian reported.

The force of last year's explosion was so great, in fact, it knocked people off their feet and shattered thousands of windows in area buidlings.

As well, the radiation produced by the fireball, which was the largest known meteor explosion since 1908 and briefly glowed 30 times brighter than the sun, burned the skin and eyes of several people.

So far, officials have not confirmed the origin of the witnessed blue streak over Murmansk, nor have there been any reports of impact.

Some online are suggesting the posted videos could be fakes, although it's also possible the flash was caused by some space debris falling through the planet's atmosphere.

It's also possible that the flash of blue light was space debris re-entering the Earth's atmosphere.
