(Video) ‘Fireball’ That Is As Bright As Full Moon Lights Up Japan’s Sky

On the 29th of November 2020, a fireball had been seen in the sky over Japan. According to a statement, the incident of the fireball happened at the time around 1:34 in the morning. The glow from the particular fireball was bright enough to be seen through any closed curtains. Takeshi Inoue who is the director of the Akashi Municipal Planetarium in Hyogo Prefecture said that the last burst of light from the fireball was “as bright as a full moon”.

Many people have hypothesized that the bright fireball could have been a bolide which is a type of shooting star that emits brightness comparable to a full moon. There are also some Twitter users hearing a rumbling noise, which the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan considers quite a rare phenomenon to happen.
