ALE Japan is preparing to test this service in Hiroshima, it is likely that artificial meteor will be the opening act for the 2020 Olympics.

The founder and CEO of ALE, Ms. Lena Okajima announced the Setouchi area test of Hiroshima city in 2019.

Although it looks magical, ALE's meteor shower is simply balls of a few millimeters to a few centimeters flying into the earth's atmosphere, burning and disappearing in the sky.

ALE can recreate this natural phenomenon by shooting marbles into the atmosphere. The amount and style of bright burns are calculated and controlled.

ALE will style a satellite about 60cm long into orbit. It will take months to get into the right position at an altitude of about 500km, under the highest layer of the atmosphere.

Each satellite will contain about 300-500 marbles, capable of orbiting the Earth for 4 years. They will often travel through major cities at night, ready to create a meteor shower upon request. In addition, this satellite is also responsible for collecting data on the weather as well as the state of the atmosphere.

Hiroshima was chosen as the first test site because the city has beautiful scenery, clear sky and clear sky.

This project is a combination of research and entertainment, ALE has the backing of educational institutions such as Tohoku University and Tokyo University, not to mention the financial support of businesses like FamilyMart and JAL.

Japanese media have questioned whether artificial meteor shower would become the opening act for the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo? Okajima has yet to give an exact answer, but she said: "Today people just face down on the smartphone screen. I want to do something so they have to look up at the sky."
