Was this movie quite far from the meteor, the moment when the meteor appears it is a level that is difficult to see which is the meteor, but the small point in the red frame part is a meteor.


It fell at high speed ... ...


Strongly lit up near the ground.


However, it disappears immediately.


Another movie taken from another angle is this. Meteor will appear 5 seconds after playback.

It is hard to understand a moment when the meteor appears when it is a still picture, but that which is in the red frame part is that.


Coming closer to the ground at high speed ...


Pinky fires.


It hid behind the building's shadow and disappeared.


The movie so far was a movie shot while traveling in the city with a car or a motorcycle, but the movie that was filmed while driving a peaceful country road, which is quite far away. Meteors will also appear from here around 5 seconds.

Nothing in a peaceful landscape ......


Suddenly a dazzling light appeared.

Give even more strong light ...


It fainted in a moment and it disappeared.



But since you were closer to the meteor than other movies, you can see that smoke is rising after the meteor disappears.
