  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
