Ivan Fursov can't be more than 16 years old, yet he speaks good English.
He is a student in Cheylabinsk, which is approximately 1,500kms east of Moscow.
Ivan filmed on his mobile phone the asteroid, which was about the size of a double decker bus, that broke up above the city of Cheylabinsk.
Experts say it was travelling between 40,000 and 50,000km/h.
Cheylabinsk or Cel'abinsk is south east of the famous city of Jekaterrinburg and north west of Astana.
There are 11 time zones in Russia and Moscow is four hours ahead of Dublin.
