Scientific paper

A discussion is presented of transient or short-lived natural satellites of the earth, which result from meteorites that only graze our atmosphere. Preliminary calculations show that only about 0.2 percent of the total number of the porous, stony meteorites which strike the earth will result in natural satellites. It is noted that such satellites also would be difficult to detect observationally.
