“Good evening, The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency—JAXA—has issued an advisory warning regarding a cluster of celestial bodies currently entering Earth’s orbital path.

According to their latest calculations, these objects are expected to land on Earth within the next twenty-four hours, with most impact zones projected along Japan’s coastline and in the outskirts of major prefectures.

JAXA emphasized that the objects are small enough to avoid large-scale impact damage and there is no indication of danger to urban areas. Officials added that there is no cause for alarm or evacuation at this time.

In a joint conference, the Japan Meteorological Agency added that no abnormal seismic or atmospheric activity had been detected so far.

Authorities are asking residents to remain indoors during the night of November 8 as a precaution against falling debris and to avoid approaching any potential impact sites until official teams arrive for confirmation.

Further updates will be reported as the situation develops. Back to our main headlines.”

“Good evening. You’re watching News Watch 9.

JAXA has released an updated observation on the cluster of celestial objects first reported yesterday.

According to officials, this is a once-in-a-century phenomenon. Several fragments entered the upper atmosphere around 18:50, and this event is still ongoing as more of these objects continue landing across the world.”

“Here we can see the bright trails over China, the United States, India, Korea, and several other nations.

The Japan Meteorological Agency has confirmed that minor atmospheric disturbances were recorded, but no immediate threat to public safety has been reported.

The government has advised residents to remain indoors and enjoy this phenomenon from home. If you look outside your window now, you may still see the meteor rain—it has been continuing for two hours and is expected to last for at least one more hour due to the sheer number of celestial objects detected.

We’ll continue to monitor incoming data from JAXA’s Tanegashima and Tsukuba facilities.”

REPORTER:

“Good morning. Behind me is one of the smaller impact craters among dozens found across Japan after last night’s meteorite shower.

The site measures roughly twenty-five meters across, and as you can see, no major structural damage occurred to nearby residential areas.

There have been no reports of injuries at this time.”

[Camera pans—a shallow crater scattered with black shards glinting in the sunlight.]

“Researchers from the National Institute for Materials Science arrived earlier today to begin collecting debris samples.

Officials describe the fragments as glass-like in composition, unlike any meteorite material previously recorded in recent centuries. The surface remains unusually warm even after more than ten hours since landing.”

[A researcher in a white hazmat suit kneels, instrument humming faintly.]

“We’ve been told the analysis will examine radiation, magnetism, and possible organic traces, though early readings show no hazardous levels detected.

“The area will remain cordoned off, and police are asking residents not to approach any crash sites until further investigation is complete.

Back to you in the studio.”

On a lighter note, this morning, the Harmonia Foundation announced open auditions for their newest idol initiative—the Aria Corps—said to focus on advanced vocal performance and stage artistry.

The company stated that selected candidates, known as ‘Divas,’ will undergo special training to debut as part of a new national idol group.

Applications are open nationwide, with final selection scheduled later this month.”

“Good evening. Twenty-four hours have passed since the unprecedented meteorite shower, and research teams across Japan have released their initial findings.

The National Institute for Materials Science and JAXA have confirmed that the meteor fragment contains an unidentified crystalline compound not found in any terrestrial sample. For now, it is being referred to as ‘Substance 1108,’ derived from the date of discovery.

Preliminary tests show that the material is chemically inert, with no signs of radiation or reaction to any known element in the periodic table. Biological contamination has also been ruled out.

Similar findings have been reported and collected in the countries around the world, where laboratories are conducting their own analyses. An online information-sharing session between nations is scheduled for later this week.

Officials emphasize that the substance poses no danger to the public and has no confirmed industrial or energy application.

In short, scientists describe the discovery as ‘remarkable but harmless.’

We will continue to provide updates as data becomes available.”

ANCHOR:

“Good evening. It has been four days since the global meteorite shower that brought Substance 1108—the mysterious crystalline compound—to light.

Local authorities in several prefectures have received unverified reports of mist-like shadows appearing near some of the impact zones. Witnesses describe the shapes as drifting silhouettes that quickly disperse when approached.

Police say they have found no physical evidence of these sightings, and experts believe the phenomena may be caused by evaporating moisture and residual heat from the meteor fragments.

However, separate cases of missing persons have been reported in various prefectures since last night. Officials stress that investigations are still ongoing and that no connection has been established with the meteorite incidents.”

[Video montage plays—blurred smartphone recordings from various social media, security-camera footage of fog-covered streets.]

“Meanwhile, an international conference was held online today to discuss the ongoing analysis of Substance 1108.

“Representatives from Japan, the United Nations, ASEAN, the European Union, and the United States have agreed to formally designate the mineral as ‘Novium.’

Scientist describe Novium as chemically stable but structurally unique, capable of emitting faint musical frequencies when exposed to certain sound waves.

Despite its unusual properties, the compound remains classified as non-reactive and harmless.

The conference concluded with a statement assuring no environmental or biological risks have been identified.

We’ll continue to monitor the situation as research progresses.”

“Good evening. It has now been nearly a week since the meteorite shower that happened on the eighth of November.

Tonight, we begin with developing reports from several rural regions that have drawn the attention of both police and disaster-response teams.”

[LIVE FEED – AKASHINO PREFECTURE | RURAL OUTSKIRT TOWN]

REPORTER:

“Good evening. I’m standing in what remains of a small farming community near the Akashino impact zone.

According to witnesses, the entire population of twenty-three residents has gone missing since last night.

A passing truck driver reported the village unusually dark and silent around midnight. When officers arrived this morning, they found bloodstains throughout several homes and along the main street, but no bodies.

The pattern of damage suggests residents attempted to flee rather than resist—doors torn outward, furniture overturned in narrow paths leading toward the main road. Electrical power was still active when first responders entered, and half-eaten meals remained on tables.

Authorities describe the scene as ‘deeply unusual’ and have sealed off the district for investigation. Initial analysis has ruled out large-scale robbery, as the residents’ valuables remain untouched inside their homes.”

[Camera pans—deserted houses, patrol light reflecting off wet pavement; red-white tape trembles in the wind.]

“Forensic teams have begun collecting samples to identify whether the blood belongs to the missing residents.

Investigator are also analyzing security footage recovered from a convenience store near the entrance of the village.

The footage reportedly shows the street suddenly filling with dense black mist, followed by abrupt flashes resembling slashing movement through the haze. No clear form can be identified; the silhouettes appear to move faster than human speed before the camera cuts to static.

Police have urged the public not to approach the restricted area while the search continues overnight.

Further information will be released once forensic results are confirmed.

Back to you in the studio.”

“Thank you. That was our correspondent reporting live from Akashino Prefecture.

In a separate incident earlier this evening, a man in neighboring Ibaraki Prefecture was hospitalized after claiming he was attacked by what he described as ‘a moving fog with eyes.’

The survivor told the investigator that, quote, ‘someone was singing in the distance,’ just moments before the mist dispersed.

Police have declined to comment on the statement, saying only that the incident is under review.”

[Montage of grainy phone footage from social media; street security cameras catch brief motion in fog.]

“Authorities have not confirmed any link between the disappearance in Akashino Prefecture and the incident in Ibaraki.

Officials urged residents living near the meteorite impact sites to remain indoors after dark and to report any unusual environmental activity to local police.

Meanwhile, science facilities that have taken part in Novium research announced that global studies on the element remain inconclusive.

Despite growing speculation online, researchers reaffirm that Novium is chemically inert and poses no threat to human health.

Government representatives emphasize that the public should remain calm and rely only on verified information.

This concludes tonight’s special report. We will bring further updates as new data becomes available.”
