Footage of an unusual phenomenon appeared on social networks. A bright light flashed in the night sky of Samara. Residents are wondering what it was.

According to the author of the post, two bright flashes with a vertical luminous beam first occurred in the sky near the Sokoliye Mountains. Then – rising clouds of smoke and a strange, not too loud hum.

In the comments, a competition immediately broke out for the most ingenious assumption from the arrival of aliens and experiments to change the earth's orbit to the invasion of reptilians. By the way, the version UFOs are most popular with locals.

Someone turns to science and reassures the others, claiming that these are just high-altitude lightning sprites. But on the other hand, the answer may be much simpler – flares, which just emit a characteristic hum and attract attention with bright flashes.
