A mysterious flash that lit up the sky in the Ukrainian capital Kiev caused much speculation.

The American space agency responded to information about the alleged possible fall of its satellite on the territory of the Kiev region. There on Wednesday, April 19, they said that their satellite was still in orbit, writes the BBC.

“The satellite was still in orbit when the flare was observed and will re-enter Earth’s atmosphere at night,” NASA’s Communications Directorate said.

NASA and the US Department of Defense continue to monitor RHESSI.

The RHESSI spacecraft, used to observe solar flares, was launched into low Earth orbit in 2002 and decommissioned in 2018, according to NASA.

NASA previously announced that the decommissioned 660-pound (300 kg) satellite will re-enter the atmosphere on Wednesday.

The military administration of Kyiv city said that a NASA space satellite was the source of the glow in Kiev.

Residents of Kyiv on Wednesday, April 19, reported a flash in the sky.
