An extremely interesting phenomenon occurred on 25 Nov 1894 on the Grodno province. A message from Volkovysk uyezd was that

"...in the quiet misty cloudy weather, after the fell a little snow, on the heavens, instantly descended like a flash of lightning, bright bluish-white light similar to the light of Bengal fire. A light appeared in the southwest and was moving North-East, where he disappeared, after about 1/2 minute. Following the light, in the same place, he heard a clap of thunder, but the thunder was extraordinary: rattled nepreryvno 4 minutes, and the thunder was moving in the same direction as the light (calmed down in the North-East), and the sound of thunder was muffled and resembled a drum roll or, rather, at the sound of the rolling crew on the pavement of large cobbles; each roll of thunder could be heard distinctly, as a separate blow, immediately following the former.

After some time, the West is again three times the lightning flashed in the same light, but no thunder, and after 27 minutes in the North-West was a light pole that had a conical shape and facing the sharp end down.

This phenomenon was terrified of many of the inhabitants; the thought is fire; when he was convinced that this celestial phenomenon, some have calmed down, but the anxiety did not end Because of this... preferably someone who knows explain this phenomenon in the press to reassure the village's minds, it is not always clear to understand phenomena, but always interested in them. A similar phenomenon was seen November 8 at the end of the 12th hour of the night, but this phenomenon was not accompanied by thunder and was seen in short" [1].

Two weeks later, in "the Grodno provincial Gazette" came the explanation, which made the whole picture even more bizarre:

"From a place Derugina of the Slonim district, Grodno lips. reported in the "Neue Dorpf. Zeitung" that the evening of 25 November, suddenly became as light as day, and the minute I heard such a blow, that it seemed the earth trembled. The thunder continued for about a minute. Everyone believed that it was the storm, but two days later the matter was explained. It turned out that M. Rojany, 23 miles from Slonim and 43 from Derugina fell aerolit of enormous dimensions, and the earth shook like during an earthquake. In Slonim rattled the glass and various things falling on the floor. According to who saw the aerolite, he is huge, still unprecedented proportions" [2].

I couldn't find in the astronomical literature no reports about the discovery of "huge aerolit" (i.e. a meteorite) in 1894 in Russia. Even if the explanation "Statements" untrue, how can we explain the light cone, which lit half an hour after the fall of the "aerolite"?
