It is assumed that at 9:56 p.m., the fall of the NASA satellite could be observed in the sky, which was accompanied by a powerful green glow.

At 10:30 p.m., a message appeared on the Telegram channel of the head of the President's Office, Andriy Yermak, that the flash and explosion were the work of our air defense.

"Don't worry about UFOs. This is our air defense," he wrote but later deleted the post.

It is worth adding that, according to Space, a "dead" NASA spacecraft called RHESSI was supposed to fall to Earth on April 19. It has been idle for the past few years.

We will remind you that in the capital, at the beginning of Shevchenko Boulevard, where a monument to Lenin stood for many years, it is proposed to install a free public toilet.
