- description: russia ural meteor | Explosions and bright flashes in the sky over several locations in Russia's Urals region has sparked fears of a UFO crash, according to RT news. The crash -- felt in Chelyabinsk, Tyumen and Sverdlovsk and elsewhere -- resembled an earthquake, witnesses report. The Associated Press confirmed that at least one meteorite has fallen in Chelyabinsk. There were conflicting reports. The Interfax news agency described the event as a meteor shower, a spokeswoman for Russia's Emergency Ministry, told the AP. But the Interfax news agency described the incident as a single meteorite. "It was definitely not a plane," an emergency official told Reuters. "We are gathering the bits of information and have no data on the casualties so far." The AP reports that there were no confirmed reports of injuries in the thinly populated region where the meteorite struck. However, the wire service cites unnamed sources that indicate some people at a school in the Ural Mountains had been hurt. RT quotes witnesses who say the blast and unusual spectacle overhead had some residents fearing a UFO. "My windows were not smashed, but I first thought that my house is being dismantled, then I thought it was a UFO, and my eventual thought was an earthquake," Bukreeva Olga wrote on Twitter, according to the news site.
