'Meteorite' Spotted Moments After Japan Earthquake

A 6.9 magnitude earthquake shook Tokyo once again, strongly hitting Namie, Futuba District, and Fukushima, with its epicenter more than 60 kilometers northwest of Iwaki. Local authorities released a warning for immediate evacuation, fearing tsunamis as high as three meters. Furthermore, a rare sighting of a meteorite capped off all the intense events in Japan for this week.

Due to the strength of the quake and the location of its epicenter, the Japan Meteorological Agency issued tsunami advisories to regions near the coast. According to a report from Mirror UK, the warning indicated that there is expected damage from tsunami waves, and those living along riversides and coastal regions are requested to immediately evacuate to higher ground. Furthermore, there was a note on the tsunami warning that people should be prepared for the worst-case scenario and must evacuate immediately.  

Earthquakes are a common experience for the Japanese, and local authorities have learned from previous experiences to be more prepared during calamities like this. The nuclear plants around the coastal regions were immediately shut down after the quake and checked for any damage. Fortunately, there have been no damages and abnormalities discovered in the nuclear plants after the shaking. 

Before the day ended, a mysterious flying object was seen in the skies of Tokyo. A woman was able to take a video of what seemed to be a meteorite in the sky after the quake. The event created a frenzy, with skepticism that the events eerily happened all at the same time. However, some netizens are quite suspicious about what it was, claiming that it was nothing but a jet or an airplane. There have been no other reports to confirm yet whether the object in the video clip was a meteorite.
