The interaction of the S-L9 comet matter with the inner Jovian magnetosphere gave rise to high-speed sodium clouds which were observed on July 20, 1994 at the Crimean Astrophysical Observatory before the impacts of Q fragments. Sodium atoms are released from coma particles by means of the sputtering mechanism. The ionization of Na I atoms occurred due to collisions with electrons accelerated by low gibrid waves. Ions were accelerated to velocities of 1500 km/s in bi-directional electric fields in the Io-Jupiter current tube and propagated over large volumes. The radiation of Na I atoms in the D-line is assumed to be caused by recombinations.
