Scientific paper

I have analyzed 82 Prairie Network meteors photographed between JD 2,439,000 and 2,439,500. Nearly all objects with M <= -9 that occurred during that period are included. The photometric data permit a preliminary determination of the distribution function of magnitude, mass, and energy of bright meteors. The influx rate of the brightest objects is found to be high compared with the rate expected from an extrapolation of visual data. The mass influx, at the top of the atmosphere, exceeds that deduced from meteorite falls by 1 or 2 orders of magnitude.
