Scientific paper

There seems to be a relationship between the activity of the east-west asymmetry of Saturn's rings and activities of bright meteors and meteorite falls. The relationship supports the suggestion (Hameen-Antilla and Itavuo, 1976) which explains the asymmetry as a product of impacting bodies on the rings. The correlation indicates the presence of interstellar meteoroids especially during the high activity of meteors and meteorites. Other observed peculiarities of the rings also seem to accumulate around unusually high falling rates of meteoroidal matter.
