A "fireball" lit up the western Japanese sky on the night of August 19th.
On the night of August 19th, a "fireball" streaked across the sky over western Japan, astonishing many and surprising astronomy enthusiasts. However, experts assert that this was a natural phenomenon and not a sign of extraterrestrial activity.
Videos and images circulating on social media show an extremely bright streak of light appearing in the sky after 11 PM local time on August 19th, visible from hundreds of kilometers away.
One resident reported that while driving in Miyazaki Prefecture, an unprecedented white light shone down from the sky, so bright that the shapes of the surrounding houses were clearly visible, as if it were daytime.
Toshihisa Maeda, director of the Sendai Space Museum in Kagoshima Prefecture (southwestern Japan), confirmed that it was an exceptionally bright meteorite. He said the meteorite appeared to have fallen into the Pacific Ocean .
According to Maeda, many people felt vibrations in the air and saw the fireball flash by.
According to the US National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), objects that cause fireballs are usually over 1 meter in size.
