The paper presents an observational test which confirms the hypothesis that peculiar type I supernovae are binary in nature and are accompanied by a red giant. The interaction of the supernova envelope with the companion leads to the ejection of 0.3-1 solar masses of matter from its envelope with expansion velocities of less than about 1000 km/s. This ejected matter turns out to be inside the supernova envelope occupying the central zone or less than about 20 percent in terms of radius. At a late stage (about 300 days) the luminosity of the ejecta, in the case of sufficiently close binaries, could be of the order of, or greater than, the luminosity of the supernova. The spectrum at this stage is formed by optically-thick hydrogen continuum radiation. Against the background of this hydrogen spectrum, narrow H-alpha emission with a luminosity significantly less than that of the luminosity in the continuum must be present.
