A triangle $ABC$ and spheres are given in space $S_1$ and $S_2$, each of which passes through points $A, B$ and $C$. For points $M$ spheres $S_1$ not lying in the plane of triangle $ABC$ are drawn lines $MA, MB$ and $MC$, intersecting the sphere $S_2$ for the second time at points $A_1,B_1$ and $C_1$, respectively. Prove that the planes passing through points $A_1, B_1$ and $C_1$, touch a fixed sphere or pass through a fixed point.
