A flight attendant recorded the passage of a meteorite in full flight over the Russian sky at an altitude of 10,000 meters.

During a commercial flight over Russia at an altitude of 10,000 meters, a meteorite was captured on camera by cabin attendant Alexandra Spasskaya using her mobile phone. The brief flash of light, caused by the meteorite’s high-speed entry into Earth’s atmosphere, surprised both the crew and passengers, who were able to observe it through the airplane windows. The event occurred during the cruise phase of the flight under stable weather conditions. The footage, which has been widely shared online, highlights the unique vantage point offered by the aircraft’s altitude, free from light pollution and with clear visibility. The incident sparked discussions among the crew and passengers, with many expressing fascination and surprise. Experts note that Russia’s vast territory and low population density make it a common location for such astronomical observations.
