<p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr">Arabia Weather - Residents of the Kanto region in central Japan, which includes the capital, Tokyo, witnessed a unique phenomenon on Monday morning, as a bright meteor resembling a fireball appeared. Japanese channel NHK reported that circulating footage reveals the observation of this phenomenon known as the “fireball,” where a ball of light appears flying in the dawn sky for a few seconds before disappearing.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> It quoted Fuji Daiichi, a supervisor specializing in astronomy at the Hiratsuka City Museum near Tokyo, that the cameras in his home detected the phenomenon before seven in the morning.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Fujii stated that the strength of the brightness indicates that the diameter of the meteorite reaches several tens of centimetres, which is rare. He added that reports of hearing a sound also indicate the possibility that the meteorite collided with the surface of the Earth.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-media-max-width="560" style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"><p lang="ja" style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> 2024 <a href="https://t.co/R2V4SRqgN7">pic. twitter.com/R2V4SRqgN7</a></p> - 藤井大地 (@dfuji1) <a href="https://twitter.com/dfuji1/status/1746679580826701958?ref_src=twsrc%5Etf... 14, 2024</a> </blockquote><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Sources:</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> <a href="https://al-ain.com/article/fireball-meteor-japan">al-ain</a></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p>
