Update! COMMENT and Analysis of the RT posted video-
There have been a spate of recycled videos and now, 30 mins after this post, it has been confirmed that the video posted below IS NOT of the reported Siberian event! The video is a cropped version of the Thailand 02NOV2015 event; thus a "faked" recycled video; sorry readers. It is unknown at this time if the event was of any extraordinary size... - LunarMeteoriteHunter, Japan
An expert with a very good eye, Jarmo Moilanen, has just commented:
The video shown is a cropped copy from this 02NOV2015 Bangkok fireball video shown on Russian tv: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mfON0TOLPjA

Жители Забайкальского края заметили в небе ярко-зеленый метеор, утверждает пресса
Огромный светящийся шар заметили накануне вечером над городом Читой местные жители. Десятки человек наблюдали, как небо над краевым центром Забайкалья около 22:00 по местному времени (17:00 по Москве) озарила серия вспышек ярко-зеленого цвета. Об удивительном явлении пишет местная пресса. По мнению СМИ, скорее всего, речь идет о метеоре, который произвел несколько ярких вспышек перед тем, как исчезнуть.
