In the night of 19 January 1993 at 00:33:20 +/- 15s Universal Time (UT), North Italy, Slovenia and Croatia were illuminated by powerful terminal flare during fireball disintegration. Some tens of KT were liberated as light. In the region of Emilia the low frequency, very strong roar (thunder) was also heard, shaking windows and walls, some 80-140 s after the bolide explosion. The severe fragmentation and after that a complete destruction of the fireball body took place over the Italian region of Emilia at the height of 35-40 km. Sticky film traps were used for the first time after a bright fireball event and a probable fall down of glassy spherules sizing micron was captured. This is one more case where very large meteoroids, group (type) I, II and III or small asteroids/comets (density 0.2-5 g/cu cm) were completely destroyed by aerodynamic pressure and stress in the dense part of the atmosphere, leaving no geological consequences.
