A very bright fireball streaked through the night sky over central Japan at around 16:35 UTC on November 28, 2020 (01:35 JST, November 29).

The object was seen and recorded from many parts of western and central Japan and was accompanied by a rumbling noise.

"It is rare for [shooting start] to be so bright," Takeshi Inoue, director of the Akashi Municipal Planetarium in Hyogo Prefecture, told Kyodo.

"We believe the last burst of light was as bright as the full moon," he said.
