Residents of the Evenkiysky district of the Krasnoyarsk Territory noticed a bright object in the sky, similar to a meteorite, at about 7 pm on March 15. One of the eyewitnesses in the village of Tura, located in the north of the region, recorded a rare phenomenon on his dashboard camera.

The exact coordinates of the fall are unknown and may be located about 100 km from the observation area. The shot shows how the fireball flared brightly and went out approaching the earth. Witnesses, who were on the street at the moment, claim that they felt a warming suddenly.

The co-chairman of the historical-archeological and ethnographic commission of the Krasnoyarsk Regional Branch of the Russian Geographical Society, Doctor of Historical Sciences Nikolai Drozdov noted, that there are clear signs of a meteorite falling on the video: "There is no a meteorite tail on the video. But the trajectory, the speed of the fall and the visual signs of a cosmic body show the similarity of the cosmic body in Evenkia with a meteorite".

It is known that an object fell in a hard to access area. According to the head of the local branch of the Russian Geographical Society in Evenkia Ivan Ivanov, specialists from the Meteorological Institute from Finland have already contacted him. They planto organize an expedition to the supposed place of the fall of the cosmic body in the near future .
