Sokolova A. M. from the town of Rechitsa nablyudala in the summer of 1937 a strange phenomenon:

"In the evening it started raining with thunderstorm. My husband was with the newspaper on the bed, mother was sitting at the table, and the daughter was lying in my crib. At that time I was in the kitchen. Suddenly I heard a strong thunder, and into the room through the hole in the window for a lock the shutter with a diameter of three to four centimeters flew into a fiery ball the size of a ball for table tennis.

He flew over the bed where lay her husband, in the bed of the daughter, hit the wall and crumbled. His mother became deaf for three days nothing was heard, the husband could not stand up (the ball flew over his legs), and they had long suffered. The daughter was not injured, although the ball hit the wall just above her bed".
