Comet disintegration likely caused trail over southern Ukraine

A strange trail observed in the sky over several southern Ukrainian regions on Sunday night was likely caused by the disintegration of a comet, according to an astronomer. Astronomer Oleksiy Stieklov explained the unusual trajectory of the trail suggests the breakup of a non-dense celestial body, rather than a meteor. The sighting, which occurred around 11 PM on July 6th, prompted speculation of a rocket launch or missile explosion. The astronomer's assessment suggests the trail was caused by the disintegration of a comet, which are known to be composed of carbon-based compounds and frozen water. The event occurred amidst a backdrop of rocket threat warnings for the region.
