Senior researcher of the National Institute of Aeronautics and Space (LAPAN), National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN), Thomas Djamaluddin, said that the phenomenon captured by residents' cameras is most likely not engineered.

"\u201cWith a brighter object, it can be concluded that it is a bright meteor. The numerous reports from CCTV in Bandung and Yogyakarta, as well as various videos by residents, confirm that it is not an engineering,""

Thomas admitted that he has not received a detailed report on the location of the meteor's fall. However, he suspected that the meteor fell in the Indian Ocean.

"If there are no reports of falling on land, it is most likely to have fallen in the Indian Ocean. My assumption is that it fell in the Indian Ocean,"

The word Thomas.

Meteor is one of the celestial objects or fragments from asteroids, comets, or other celestial objects that fall to Earth due to gravitational influence. Previously, the Researcher of the BRIN Space Research Center, Andi Pangerang Hasanuddin, explained that meteor showers do not have negative impacts on society and do not result in thinning of the ozone layer. In other words, this phenomenon commonly known as a shooting star is not dangerous. This is because some meteors will burn up in the Earth's atmosphere.

“To capture a meteor shower, an all-sky camera needs to be placed in the zenith direction (upward direction) so that the camera can record until the night is over, only then can you see the meteors passing by.”

Andi revealed as quoted from the official website of the National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN).

“Apabila ingin mengabadikan hujan meteor dibutuhkan kamera all sky yang diletakkan di arah zenith (arah atas) sehingga kamera akan merekam sampai malam selesai, baru bisa melihat meteor melintas,

"However, he conveyed that there is a meteor that is considered potentially dangerous, namely a meteor that has a size of more than 140 meters with a minimum intersecting orbit distance of about 5 million kilometers. "This needs to be alerted because if it passes close to the earth with a distance less than the Roche limit or the limit when celestial bodies interact with the Earth's gravity," he said. He explained that if the distance is equal to the Roche limit, celestial bodies can be shattered and form a ring on Earth. However, if the distance is less than the Roche limit, it will be possible to fall."
