A huge fireball in Siberia has turned night into day as comparisons with a scene from the apocalypse sweep the internet.
The spectacular night sky event was seen across regions of the Republic of Khakassia and South Siberia on Tuesday evening.
The meteor which burnt in the atmosphere before hitting the ground was witnessed by locals as it shook buildings and set of alarms.
One witness said: “We saw a flash, and in about two minutes our houses vibrated and we heard thunder, and car alarms went off”.
A local woman added: ‘I went for a walk with my friends. We stopped by the shop and my friend screamed when she saw a bright flash, and then there was an explosion.
‘All the car alarms immediately went off. We were so scared. My father said windows were vibrating. We think it was a meteor.’
