Cloud this, separated by a mile from the churchyard with the flow of the stream and river Doroninki Ingoda who are here in the same direction, inclined to the left. The noise of the cloud, which grew stronger, the more it sank down, frightened pustuhov grazing in the meadow of the village herd . They take on a very fall thereof, and at the same moment they saw flowing out of a cloud of fire-coloured stone, which at first fall and then bounced up in a short distance down to the ground. Half an hour later they finally dared to come to the place and found the said stone, which was still so hot that you could hardly keep it in your hands. returned two hours later with the herd, they are told about this Blaznovu Major, who at once and ordered the self to the place where, at the same time was the caretaker and salt mills Bogdanov. Earth, yet quite frozen, they found an inch of bare turf, whose edge an inch went up. The latter happened to be a strong fall, because of the heat of the stone edge of a little thawed somewhat divided, but not quite exploded; to this same reason, the stone otskaknuv from the ground up is not very high.

In the middle of the blue, the taste of Solon and to the language of a few sticks. In the fall of the upper part and a half inches, and bounced into small pieces scattered around. The day after these things opened up like a rock a hundred yards to the east. He weighed two pounds and a half, was the same colour, had the same smell, but break off the ground is much darker, and some even reddish-grey colour. Kind of like he was sitting on a mutilated frog means some rough exterior ... In addition, should still add that at the same time, it can be only a few minutes earlier than in Doroninske referred noise and on the west side, where began thereof, 10 miles away was heard. This happened, as they say, twenty miles further to the north-east side, what with an oath assure us who were travelling then on the steppe the Russian peasants. Pizano 8th April 1805
