A GLOWING green fireball buzzing over Russia’s hi-tech “scientific city” in Siberia has led some to speculate Putin is developing space weapons.
The bright flash and streaking tail was seen by “stunned” motorists close to the research town of Akademgorodok, on the edge of regional capital Novosibirsk.
Research institutes in the area are dubbed Vladimir Putin’s “secret weapon” in the global hi-tech race.
Just six miles away is Koltsovo, home of a secretive institute Vector – the repository of the planet’s most deadly diseases and viruses, including smallpox, Ebola and Marburg.
Images were caught on dash cams in the early morning darkness.
Some observers claimed it was an “alien attack” or a meteor exploding in the sky.
Other suggestions were Russian testing “extremely advanced weapons” or “UFOs ready to invade Ukraine”.
State-run Russian media admitted astronomers were “somewhat bewildered” by the sight.
Ilya Orlov, Deputy director the Big Novosibirsk Planetarium, called it a “beautiful phenomenon” but could not be certain what caused it.
“Most likely, this is a flash of bolide, that is, the fall of a bright meteor with a flash.”
If so it is unusual, he said.
“It is all the more surprising because there are no active meteor showers now.”
He added: “It can be either the tail of a meteor shower or a lone meteor.
“We need to find out.”
No traces of space rock was found on the snowy ground, it was reported.
There were also not reports of explosions.
It is not believed there were rocket launches or missile tests at the time it appeared early on Tuesday.
Akademgorodok was set up by the Kremlin in 1957 as a base to hothouse Soviet scientists in Siberia – far from the prying eyes of the West.
It is now home to many of Russia’s leading researchers and academics specialising in all branches of sciences, including military and space developments.

In recent years Vector has been involved in efforts to find cures and antidotes to killers such as bubonic plague, anthrax, hepatitis B, HIV and cancer.
The research centre holds one of only two sources of smallpox in the world – the other is in the US – under an international agreement.
This isn’t the first time fears over Russia’s secretive weapons programmes have been raised, with some claiming he is developing robot tanks and a new generation of stealth bombers to outgun the west.

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.
Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”
Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”
