At 3:50am, a meteor is seen streaking across the night sky. The meteor broke up in the atmosphere.

A meteorite lights up the sky near Mount Castel, as bright as day, if only for a second.

A second piece of footage has surfaced, albeit with a wrong date, captured at Simferopol, Ukraine.

The cosmic connection

It is interesting to note that Nov 21 was the first day of protest in Kiev, which escalated to the current civil war-like scenario:

(Reuters) - Here is a timeline of Ukraine's political crisis which has brought tens of thousands of people onto the streets of Kiev over President Viktor Yanukovich's policy U-turn away from the European Union towards Russia.

* Nov 21: Kiev suddenly announces suspension of trade and association talks with the EU after years of careful negotiations and opts for reviving economic ties with Soviet-era overlord, Moscow.

Several hundred Ukrainians gather on the capital's central Independence Square to protest.
