The observation of the electromagnetic radiation associated with Leonid meteorite collision on the moon was attempted around the 1999 Leonid maximum on November 18. The Kashima 34 m radio telescope was pointed at the moon and X-band signals were recorded on November 15, 16, and 18. Optical "flash" events caused by meteorite impacts were observed during this Leonid maximum. Although the data around the flash events was studied, none of the events were accompanied by X-band radiation. The reason why no radiation was observed is thought to be that the antenna observed the lunar center, whereas the flash events were observed near the edge of the moon. This result suggests that we may have to wait for a better observational chance when the lunar shadow region is bombarded by meteorites during the Leonid maximum. It is also advisable to track the lunar shadow region where flashes are expected to be observed, instead of the lunar center.
