Videos on social media show meteor ‘as bright as the moon’ illuminating Japan sky

Public broadcaster NHK said that their cameras from central prefectures of Aichi, Mie and several other areas captured the fireball in the sky.

According to local reports, the fireball, believed to be a bolide — a type of shooting star often compared to a full moon for its brightness – was spotted clearly from parts of western and central Japan.

Footage showed the meteor glowing brightly as it rapidly shot through the sky and then disappearing.
