Scientific paper

Petrov and Stulov's (1975) hypothesis on the nature of the disintegration of the Tungusk meteorite in the atmosphere is critically analyzed. It is shown that their concept of the ablation vapors forming a cushion in front of the meteoric body is faulty, since such vapors will inevitably be carried downstream at high speed. Hence, the theory of the motion and ablation of large meteoric bodies substituted by Petrov and Stulov for the classical theory is inconsistent, all the more so that it is not confirmed by the experiment.
