Apparently this was before the Zenit launch, so it wasn't that. Sightings have been confirmed as far as Poland, Austria, Bulgaria and Hungary. Apparently it was visible in an eastern direction from Romania too. I couldn't find an article about it yet, so I'm linking to the Severe Weather Europe Fb post. Don't know for sure if this belongs in spaceflight news or the astronomy thread either. It was visible at around 04:30 CET to 04:45 CET.https://www.facebook.com/severeweatherEU/posts/2141085112781245

edit: yup, apparently a RS-12M Topol launch from Kapustin Yar.
