Huge "fireball" across the night sky was observed in many places in Japan for several seconds

　　According to a report by the Japan Broadcasting Association (NHK), at about 8:30 pm on January 20th local time, a large "fireball" appeared over Kanto, Kinki and other places in Japan. This "fireball" crossed the sky and disappeared into the night sky. The whole process lasts for a few seconds.

　　According to reports, because it is not too late, people in many places have witnessed the spectacle of the "fireball" flying across the night sky, which once became a hot topic on social media.

　　Fujii Dachi, who specializes in astronomical research at the Hiratsuka City Museum in Kanagawa Prefecture, said that it may be that asteroid fragments and other substances burned after entering the earth's atmosphere, thus forming a sparkling "fireball."
