Video footage captures powerful 7.4-magnitude tremor near Fukushima and flaming objects in the sky above Japan *** Dramatic video has captured a meteorite burning across the sky just hours after a huge 7.4-magnitude earthquake struck Japan sending a tsunami cascading inland and up a river. The footage shows a flaming object trailing across the evening sky while the country was still assessing the damage from the tremor. Alarms rang out in towns across Fukushima prefecture - where the 2011 earthquake wreaked havoc - and further along Japan's eastern coastline. Around an hour later, a tsunami flowed inland and up the Suna'oshi River in Tagajo - a city devastated in the 2011 earthquake - almost bursting its banks. Video taken by a 16-year-old known as Asuka then showed a mysterious burning light crossing the night sky. Asuka posted the footage along with the words: 'A movie I took while preparing to die. Thought that it was a meteorite because there was an earthquake earlier. It is not a meteorite.' | DailyMail
