Two unidentified light balls appeared in the sky over Japan recently. An unidentified white light ball appeared in the early morning of July 2 in Tokyo, Japan, and another one appeared in the evening of August 21 in the Kanto region. The sphere of light with a brightness of "full moon level" across the sky was witnessed by the public in Tokyo and Kanagawa Prefecture. Many netizens uploaded the filmed videos to social networking sites and aroused heated discussions.

According to comprehensive media reports, at around 10:30 pm on the 21st local time, many people in the Kanto region witnessed an unknown ball of light across the night sky. The intense white light emitted by the ball of light illuminates the night sky. The network camera "Atom Tech" set up by the Japan Broadcasting Association (NHK) on the Tokyo Skytree has captured the process of the unknown light ball from appearing to the dazzling light gradually disappearing.

At that night, many people's dash cams and monitors captured images of unknown light balls, but they all said that no other sounds were heard at that time. Many netizens shared the filmed videos on social networking sites, causing netizens to speculate that they were rockets, meteorites, etc.

At his home in Kanagawa-ku, Yokohama City, President Jun Aoyama of the Japanese company ATOM Tech captured the light across the southern sky with a camera. Daichi Fujii, a researcher at the Hiratsuka City Museum in Kanagawa Prefecture, also captured an image of the light ball.

Fujii said that the brightness of this sphere of light is close to the moonlight of the full moon. He speculated that the sphere of light may have come from an asteroid near the orbit of Jupiter. It started to burn after entering the sky above the earth. If it does not burn out, it will most likely fall to the ground. But it is not clear what this ball of light is.

At 1:30 a.m. on July 2nd, local time, an unknown fireball also appeared over the Kanto region across the sky, and made a huge sound that might be an explosion. At that time, many people shot images of fireballs.
