Extraordinary video has emerged of parts of an unmanned Russian spaceship burning over Dubai.<br /><br />In video filmed on Monday evening (October 16) by Dublin-based IT professional Mikhail Pozdeyev from the Dubai Mall at the foot of the mega-tall Burj Khalifa skyscraper, a meteor-like object can be seen burning through the sky.<br /><br />Pozdeyev writes: "My first thought that it was a plane, but shortly afterwards I doubted that as it was crossing the sky faster and leaving a glare - I told my wife that it must be a nuclear rocket. <br /><br />"People around were also a bit shocked looking at this object crossing the sky. For a minute after the video I seriously thought that we should expect a sound blast coming our way and see a mushroom-like cloud on the horizon, so I rushed to ask for the bill. <br /><br />"Fortunately, none of this happened and later in the evening I have googled this and confirmed that it was a blunt angle meteor entering the atmosphere."<br /><br />The Progress MS-07 had previously delivered supplies to astronauts aboard the International Space Station.<br /><br />At first local government officials had said the object was a meteor, according to agency reports.<br /><br />Pozdeyev was only able to see the remarkable event because his scheduled flight home to Dublin was cancelled due to Storm Ophelia.<br /><br />He had been on his honeymoon with his wife in Mauritius making a connecting flight in Dubai when the flight got cancelled.
