Mysterious explosions captured by Russian satellite roam our atmosphere

Before we begin, we need to recall a fact that occurred in 2016, the year Moscow State University sent the Russian satellite Mikhailo Lomonosov into orbit of the Earth. Given this event, it is worth remembering that the objective of the project from the beginning was to observe transient phenomena in the upper atmosphere of the Earth, but also to study radiation characteristics of the planet's magnetosphere, in addition to basic cosmic research.

Recently, an unknown phenomenon has been captured by the satellite and the director of the Moscow University Nuclear Physics Research Institute Mikhail Panasyuk made a statement to Sputnik News about this observation. According to him, they apparently found new physical phenomena, repeatedly recording a very powerful 'burst' of light. The satellite is equipped with a space telescope to measure the energy spectrum and chemical composition of high-energy cosmic rays from Earth's orbit, as well as onboard instrumental systems for studying gamma-ray bursts.

Panasyuk reported that everything was clear, no thunderstorms and no clouds, so they are not exactly sure of the physical nature of this physical phenomenon. These flares are called sprites, said as faint flashes of light appearing above a storm, are usually red and purple blends. Considering that no storms were detected, really the source of the flashes captured by Lomonosov should be another.

Let's get back to the fact that in 2017 NASA researchers discovered sudden flashes of light that were being caused by sunlight reflecting off ice crystals. That's right, ice crystals. But again, if there were no clouds below the lights, that would never be possible. One thing that makes us think is that we do not know if this phenomenon can be captured in a UV telescope like the Lomonosov satellite.

Important data!

The cloud that turned the New York skyline light blue a year or so ago was the result of the explosion of transformers at a Con Ed facility in Queens, according to the New York Police Department. So here is our question of how it may have happened and what caused it, because if there were no clouds and much less storm, we will have to wait for the analysis of data and articles that the University should post later. Do you believe it could have been something very unusual? Aliens? Talk to us!
