On the page ilmugeografi.com The meteor that fell came from debris from the tail of Comet Swift-Tuttle that had entered the Earth’s atmosphere.
This comet was first discovered in 1862 and orbits the sun once every 130 years.
In every mid-July to August, the Earth will cross its orbit so that the remaining material from the comet will be attracted by Earth’s gravity and appear as a meteor shower.
This meteor shower is known as the Perseid meteor shower.
From the time of the flash of light that was seen by the residents of Juruan Laok Village, it was closer to the Perseid meteor.
Unfortunately, no one has captured this natural phenomenon that is visible to the naked eye. Wallahuaklam.
