    First results of an analysis to determine contribution of decays of the unstable 8^{8}Be and 9^{9}B nuclei and the Hoyle 3α\alpha-state to dissociation of 14^{14}N →\to 3He (+H) are presented. As the research material, layers of nuclear track emulsion longitudinally exposed to 2.9 AA GeV/cc 14^{14}N nuclei with at the JINR Nuclotron. Under the assumption that the He and H fragments retain momentum per nucleon of the primary nucleus, these unstable states are identified by the invariant mass calculated from the emission angles of the fragments.Comment: Article materials were presented in the report by A.A. Zaitsev at LXX International conference Nucleus - 2020, https://indico.cern.ch/event/839985/contributions/3985257 To be published in journal "Physics of Particles and Nuclei
