The evangelist's divine experience may have coincided with an ancient Chelyabinsk-like meteor explosion.
Concerns were raised when bright blue snow started to turn up on the streets of Chelyabinsk.
Russian authorities have managed to haul a huge chunk of the meteor up from the bottom of a lake.
The huge meteor that exploded over Chelyabinsk produced a shockwave that circled the whole planet.
A recent newspaper poll indicated that more than 50% did not believe that the event was a meteor.
