(about 13 hours later)
A mysterious white flash has lit up the skies of Kyiv late on Wednesday evening. A mysterious flash which lit up skies over Ukraine's capital on Wednesday night generated much speculation.
The BBC has not yet been able to confirm what caused the flash but verified it occurred in Ukraine's capital. Officials in Kyiv initially suspected it was a Nasa satellite falling to Earth but the US space agency told the BBC it was still in orbit.
Ukrainian space officials said later the flash had probably come from a meteorite entering the atmosphere.
