On September 24th, 2002, at 16:49 UT in the Mamsko-Chuisk region of the Irkutsk oblast of Russia it was a fall of a big meteorite. The fall was accompanied with light, acoustic, geomagnetic, seismic and mechanical phenomena which were recorded by ground and space means of observations. The meteorite has burst in the air at the altitude of 30 km with coordinates of the burst: 58.23 N, 113.46 E. After 17:00 UT there was recorded a sequence of small disturbances of the geomagnetic field and wavelike changes of amplitude of medium wave radioreflections at heights from 47 till 129 km in Tumanny (Murmansk oblast, Russia; 69.0 N, 35.7 E) which was situated at a distance of 4000 km from a place of the burst. It was gotten that after the burst three types of waves (magnetoacoustic, acoustic-gravitaty and infraacoustic) spread in the polar mesosphere and lower ionosphere. Observable disturbances had periods of oscillations about 3-4, 5-6 and more than 9-10 minutes. A similarity characteristics of the wave indignations with analogous ones which were gotten earlier during investigations of effects of the Tungusk meteorite and the American space station “Skylab” falls and also a fact of a registration of a pressure wave on a net of microbarographs of PGI in Apatity permit to maintain that the source of the indignations in the polar ionosphere is the meteorite explosion. The hypothesis about wavequide spreading of atmospheric waves to large distance was confirmed.
