A meteorite lit up the night sky over western Japan on Tuesday night in a video captured on a driver's dash cam. Footage filmed in Kagoshima showed a ball of light around 11pm local time. Sightings of the meteorite were reported by residents in both Kagoshima and Miyazaki prefectures. Fireballs are caused by friction as a meteorite enters the atmosphere and slows down considerably. Almost all space debris breaks into tiny pieces before hitting the ground, according to the US space agency NASA.#japan #fireball #worldnews #tranding #explore #fyp - @worldnews0146
