The results of a search for ultrarapid variability of galactic water maser sources at the wavelength 1.35 cm on a timescale of several minutes to 1 h are reported. A special observational technique was developed. ... Among those, several sources that have shown such variability were found. ... Clear evidence for such a variability type was found in at least two sources: W49N and W33B. Variability of this kind displays itself only in certain states of the water masers. ...
