Nikolai Alex Popov writes to the Commission on AI.:

I also had to observe one object, but it was quite a long time ago in 1980 in the month of August. I was living in the city of Nurek in Tajikistan at that time.

...

And one evening I had to see a meteorite fall. It was August 1 at 22-43 local time.

But this fall was strange, gradually the falling point increased in size, then there was a flash and this body deviated to the left, leaving a trail behind it.
