The camera was on video 5 Jan. Then the local media mistook it for a meteor or space debris, but on 10 January the command of the aerospace defense of North America said that it was a Russian military satellite “Kosmos-2430”.

RIA Novosti with reference to the VCS reported that the machine was worn out and on 5 January the planning was de-orbited and burned up in the atmosphere at an altitude of about 100 kilometers.

“Cosmos-2430” was part of the system of missile attack warning “the Eye” and was launched in 2007 from the Plesetsk cosmodrome. It is assumed that communication with the satellite was lost in 2012-2014 due to the fact that the device has worn out.
