I have now learned that there was a second fireball over Saitama, Japan on the same night as the one reported earlier. The other meteor was filmed by the Sonota Corp cameras at 8:05 P.M. with and entry position from about the same position and an Earth path just slightly different.
K. Ohtsuka , of Sonota Corp., writes, "Interestingly, another bright meteor (mag. -1),
of which orbital parameters are quite similar to those of the fireball,
was observed on the same night. "
