At 30th Oct.2013,11h22m38s(UT), a fireball appeared from Ibaragi prefecture to Fukushima Prefecture.
Mr.Masuzawa(Nagano Pref.) and Mr. SonotaCo(Tokyo) took by automatic TV image of this fireball.
Mr. C.Shimoda(Nagano Pref.) and Mr.Y.Hirayama(Tochigi Pref.) also took digital photographs.
Mr.M.Ueda calculated its trajectory and orbit.
The light curve is remarkably smooth.
The end height is low 31.9 km by photographic images but not taken by TV lower than 50 km altitudes.
So that significantly region velocity unknown on near endpoint was related to mass decrease estimate uncertainty.
As result, about 20g small meteorite was predicted to fall on Aizu-Misato town with some error.
