We discuss different production mechanisms of very high energy (VHE) photons and neutrons. Our aim is to distinguish which of them, and under what conditions, can be responsible for the VHE emission reported from several discrete sources. We show that, among the proposed models, only two are able to describe the general shape of the spectrum of Cyg X-3 above 10 exp 11 eV being not in contradiction with the estimates of the magnetic field strength derived from radio observations. In the first, the VHE neutrons emitted by the compact object interact with low column density of the background matter. In the second, relativistic nuclei develop an electromagnetic cascade in matter and magnetic field.
