NASA has denied claims made by Kyiv’s city authorities that a mysterious, dazzling flash of light above Ukraine’s capital was caused by one of its defunct satellites tumbling to Earth.
The bright flash, which was seen over the city at around 10 p.m. local time (3 p.m. EDT), prompted the city’s authorities to turn on air raid alerts. Citing early data, Serhiy Popko, the head of the city’s military administration, said on Telegram that the "phenomenon was the result of a Nasa space satellite falling to Earth."
