The Uber of meteors... only in Japan. From the article:
"One Japanese start-up is hoping to deliver shooting stars on demand and choreograph the cosmos.
Lena Okajima, who holds a doctorate in astronomy, says her company -- ALE -- is intending to launch a micro satellite that can eject shooting stars at exactly the right time and place to put on a celestial show.
These balls -- whose chemical formula is a closely-guarded secret -- will race through the atmosphere at around 7-8 kilometres (up to five miles) a second, glowing brightly from the friction created by smashing into the air."
