Scientific paper

Data on the bright fire-ball (-15 mag) which was observed over Estonia on June 1, 1937 are analyzed as well as the results of an investigation of the Simuna crater which is 8.5 m in diameter. It is shown that this fire-ball entered the earth's atmosphere with an initial velocity of 11-20 km/s. The initial mass of this body was greater than or equal to 50 tons since the Simuna crater was formed by the impact of a body with a mass of less than or equal to 67 kg.
