The first expedition began in 1921 and, for over a decade, other followed. Kulik heard and registered the accounts of the region's inhabitants. They mentioned seeing a bright blue trail crossing the sky, a very bright flash, the roar of a thunder and the shock waves that pounded the ground and shattered the glass. For the several nights that followed the sky was bright and sparkled. The accounts, however, varied from one person to another, when it came to the sequence and duration of the events.
Kulik also tried to fix the limits of the area of the event, through the destruction of about 80 million trees in a radius of 50 km from a central point where the force seemed to come from. An aerial observation revealed that it actually had the shape of a butterfly with an area of 215 000 acres completely destroyed. However, not a single sign of a crater was found.
