Hi there,
The consensus was reached within the IMO and a few french amateur astronomers specialized in meteors, meteorids.
Brief description of the video capture :
Since this was filmed in Tokyo, there's a lot of light pollution as one may guess which makes any flying objects (insects, birds, bats, paper, plastic bags etc...) visible as they reflect the city lights. In this case, an insect was captured flying down from top to bottom in the FOV of the camera and as it reached the lower part of the FOV a meteor was also captured as if it was one and only event.
The addition of the two events made it look as if it was a meteor flying
in a very odd manner (not in a straigh path).
Insect + meteor (straight line)
Cheers,
Buck
