On Friday, may 22 in a Network there are many videos of the state of Victoria in Australia. They eyewitnesses captured a huge glowing object, which slashed the night sky, after the bright flash. The phenomenon lasted for 20 seconds but made a deep impression on the witnesses because of its uniqueness.

The luminous body has taken over the meteorite, but scientists believe it was space junk. Experts studied the video and calculated the velocity of the object. In particular, Jonty hunter, Professor of astrophysics from the University of southern Queensland, told ABC that the object can be identified as space debris because of its low speed.

"Low speed, about 6 kilometers per second, is a very significant sign that it was space junk entering the atmosphere," he said. Astronomical society of Victoria said the object is the third stage of the rocket used to launch a Russian satellite.

Although eyewitnesses disappointing message that a meteor over Australia was part of the Russian missiles, they still share their impressions of the Grand spectacle. Allegedly, the Russian rockets fell near Tasmania.
