Abstract
A possible connection between the multimodal events (MME) observed in the very high energy extensive air showers by the HORIZON-T experiment and the so-called strongly penetrating component observed in the homogenous lead emulsion chambers of the Pamir and Chacaltaya Experiments was studied. We found that both experimental observations could be connected one to the other, and could be the manifestation of the same physical process, i.e. penetration of a strangelet through the matter. In the first case a strangelet produces the many-maxima long range cascades observed in the homogenous lead emulsion chambers. In the second case the successive interactions of a strangelet in the air are seen in the HORIZON-T detectors as the consecutive signals. Time intervals between signals are between several dozen to several hundred nanoseconds. I
