It was around 10 p.m. when people in the Ukrainian capital noticed several flashes of light in the sky. The air force sent out a red danger warning, and the anti-aircraft sirens were activated. – Førebel’s information indicates that the phenomenon is a result of a satellite from Nasa on its way to earth, said the head of military administration in Kyiv, Sergij Popko. This is RHESSI – the satellite that many believed was the cause of the flash of light over Kyiv. Photo: AP Nasa: – No satellite But last night this was rejected by a spokesperson for Nasa. Earlier this week, it became known that a 300-kilogram satellite – the Reuven Ramaty High Energy Solar Spectroscopic Imager spacecraft (RHESSI) – had completed its mission, and was due to enter the atmosphere on Wednesday. – This satellite is still in orbit around the earth, stated Nasa’s spokesperson. Several of the pictures that are shared on social media are characterized by Ukrainian soldiers and colors. Others try to create new conspiracy theories. This variant plays on Ukraine getting help from higher powers. Who is “behind” the incident is a source of much humor. Speculations The Ukrainian Air Force believes that the flash of light could also come from a meteor. Many probably see this as the most likely explanation. But the speculation about the sky phenomenon over Kyiv continues, not least in social media. Several videos of the light phenomenon have been uploaded during the night.
