Dear List,
  I just witnessed a large fireball over the Tokyo area from my balcony. The fireball changed from blue, red to green. No sound was heard. The fireball terminated at approximately 10-15 degrees above the horizon. Traveling direction was from E-SE at approximately 140-150 degrees from North. I was viewing this event from a 10th floor apartment balcony and have a ground refernece tower for extinction reference.
  This is the second largest fireball that I have seen in my life and perhaps Japan will have a new meteorite!

Best Regards, Dirk Ross...Tokyo

To all Japanese researchers please pass this information to other researchers that may have captured this event on video. Thank you.
