On the evening of the 10th, in Kanagawa prefecture and other places, a phenomenon called “fireball” was observed, which shines particularly among the shooting stars.

According to Daichi Fujii, curator of the Hiratsuka City Museum in Kanagawa Prefecture, after 6 p.m. on the 10th, a camera installed in his home in Hiratsuka City and Fuji City, Shizuoka Prefecture, caught a ball of fire flowing in the eastern sky. It means it has been done.

In the video, you can see what looks like a glowing fireball that flows in a line in the twilight sky and eventually glows like it’s exploding.

According to Mr. Fujii, the fireball is believed to have traveled north to south over the eastern part of the Boso Peninsula at a speed of around 50 kilometers per second.

Also, there were a lot of social media posts about seeing fireballs in Kanagawa prefecture around the same time.

Fujii states: “Fireballs are a relatively common phenomenon when the weather is nice and, especially from autumn to winter, there are many meteor showers in the constellations of Orion and Taurus that can be seen with the naked eye. Please. look at the sky and look for them. I want it, “he said.
