In Yekaterinburg, 36-year-old resident Viktor Prokofiev was driving to work when he witnessed the event.
“It was quite dark, but it suddenly became as bright as if it was day,” he was quoted by Reuters as saying.
Governor Yurevich reported that the meteor had landed in a lake 1km outside Chebarkul, which has a population of 46,000.
A Russian army spokesman said a crater 6m (20ft) wide had been found on the shore of the lake.

meteor crashing in the Urals of central Russia has reportedly injured at least 950 people, as the shockwave blew out windows and rocked buildings.
Most of those hurt suffered minor cuts and bruises but some received head injuries, Russian media report.
A fireball was seen streaking through the sky above the city of Yekaterinburg, followed by loud bangs.
The meteor is believed to have landed in a lake near Chebarkul, a town in the neighbouring Chelyabinsk region.
Much of the impact was felt in the city of Chelyabinsk, some 200km (125 miles) south of Yekaterinburg.

“We saw a big burst of light, then went outside to see what it was and we heard a really loud thundering sound,” Chelyabinsk resident Sergey Hametov told AP news agency by phone.
Officials say a large meteor partially burned up in the lower atmosphere, resulting in fragments falling earthwards.
Thousands of rescue workers have been dispatched to the area to provide help to the injured, the emergencies ministry said.
The Chelyabinsk region, about 1,500km (930 miles) east of Moscow, is home to many factories, a nuclear power plant and the Mayak atomic waste storage and treatment centre.
According to an unconfirmed report in Russia Today, the meteorite was intercepted by Russian air defense.

In this video I tried to disclose what really hapenned in Chelyabinsk suburb Cherbarkul. Why this area is so speacial? And what preceded this prophetic event! You will see now a 20 years old prophecy unveiled. Actually in The Chebarkul lived exactly 20 years ago a Big Prophet and an Angel Lad Vyacheslav, all his short LIfe he was prophetising about this comet and Apokalyptic events that will shake our Earth in nearest Future! Nobody belived him until 911 hapenned exactly as he prophesysed still during Soviet era! But then people forgot that althought Bible clearly warns “Despise not prophesyings.” So its apparent that ALmighty Creator just had to remind to bogged in Sins Home Sapiens that if they don’t Repent, the Meteor will seem as visit to planetarium, comparing to what we shall expect. THis video is shot as special tribute to Alex Jones and to all folks who fight the NWO!
