The Pułtusk meteorite fell down near Pułtusk on January 30, 1868 in the form of a shower of aerolites, spreading over an area of 127 km², between the villages of Tocznabiel, Wielgołas (from the south-west) as well as Rzewnie and Boruty (from the north-east). Thousands of stones fell that day.
“An aerolite has fallen! This incident has stirred Warsaw and kept it agitated for a few days. […] The meteorite that flew over Warsaw on 30 January and shattered into pieces over a certain distance was a fireball or a bolide. The features associated with this phenomenon are almost identical, except for a few minor differences. […] The meteorite from 30 January was really spectacular […]” (Kłosy [Ears of Corn], 1 February 1868, issue 137).
