Massive flash lights up Russian sky

A huge, eery flash that appeared to shoot up as a beam of light into the night sky has spooked residents of a city in southern Russia.

The pulsing light that briefly bathed the city of Stavropol white and blue on Monday night was caught by a dash cam mounted in a car, the video of which has spread across social media.

The dazzling burst of light seemed to knock out some streetlamps in the city, as seen in another webcam video.

The event has become all the stranger because nobody has so far been able to explain what it was. Local scientists today ruled out that natural phenomena could have caused it.

“This flash cannot have been natural,” Svetlana Solovyova, chief analyst at the Stavropol Meteo

Just saw this report about a mystery light in Russia. With all the rumors and speculation coming out of Russia lately, the timing is certainly interesting.

Putin is testing his new super weapon, its cool.

Sure does but meteorologists are saying it wasn't.

in russia it's not swamp gas or chineses lanterns, it's failed rocket launches, don't you know?

I'd say some kind of problem at a power station, because it certainly looks electrical, but that would have already been reported. Maybe Putin had to bleed off some of that awesome the pro Russian propagandists have been telling us about.

It's from ABC News. Are we sure this footage isn't from last year?

Maybe some energy weapon they are testing to see if it can knock out a rocket or Jet. It appears to work if it is.

Does not look like lightning to me.
