A nuclear interaction named 'Centauro' was found in chamber No. 15 of the Chacaltaya emulsion chamber and was reported at the Denver conference on cosmic rays (1973). It shows the multiple production of more than fifty nuclear active particles without any accompanying neutral pi-mesons. Chamber No. 17 of the continuing Chacaltaya experiment provided three events of the same character. The present paper gives the result of the highest-energy event. It is found that the event is from an atmospheric interaction at about 500 m above the chamber and is an emission of about 100 nuclear active particles from a giant fireball of rest energy about 270 GeV. The number of neutral pi-mesons from the 'Centauro' decay is estimated as 3 plus or minus 5, which is consistent with zero.
