The Sikote-Alin meteorite fell in the Sikote-Alin mountain range near Luchegorsk. At around half ten in the morning of the 12th of February 1947, witnesses saw a fireball that was brighter than the Sun. 

When the meteorite entered the atmosphere, it did so at a speed of approximately 14 km/s. It then broke into several pieces and at a height of 5.6 kilometres its largest part burst into pieces with an enormous explosion. The entry field of the meteorite was about 1.3 km² and ellipse-shaped. Some of the fragments formed craters. There are about 120 of these, of which the largest is approximately 26 metres in diameter and 6 metres deep. Other pieces bore into the trees in the area. The impact was exceptionally large. The total mass was estimated to be almost 90,000 kg. A large rock fragment is on display in Moscow, most pieces are housed in private collections.
