We have proposed a mechanism that explains all phenomena observed in nature during lightning propagation and all phenomena during the fall of the Chelyabinsk meteorite in the Russian Federation. These positively charged cumulative-dissipative plasma systems (+CDS), as we have established, are surrounded by incongruent shock waves of the Vysikaylo electric field (VSW). We demonstrate that de Broglie waves of free electrons arising in the plasma tail behind the meteoroid behave similarly to electromagnetic waves in a laser. There, a cumulative jet of high-energy electrons (CJ) is formed, which breaks into the meteoroid, causing it to collapse according to the Coulomb mechanism. The formation of VSW in the atmosphere is due to the peculiarities of the chemical kinetics of negative ions at the boundary of the plasma tail. The time of Vysikaylo-Poisson’s structural turbulence, providing the formation of CJ in the plasma tail, was ≈ 1.5 s.
