Scientific paper

The fireball classification based on their end heights has proved to be an outstanding criterion for distinguishing the quality of the material of meteoroids. But only the theory of end heights can quantitatively determine the previously ascertained structural differences. Among meteroids larger than 0.1 kg, the authors have not been able to prove primordial materials different from the known meteorites. As approximately 30 percent of fireballs are of a cometary origin, comets may be not of primordial but probably of planetary origin.
