Scientific paper

The basic premise of the small-comet hypothesis suggesting that small comets strike the earth approximately 20 times per minute is examined and found to have physical problems and internal inconsistencies. Incompatibilities with the accumulated geophysical knowledge are considered to indicate that the small-comet hypothesis is not valid. An alternative hypothesis, the instrument-artifact hypothesis, proposes that the dark spots appear randomly in the Dynamics Explorer (DE) satellite pictures. Qualitative and statistical tests of this hypothesis show that it is capable of explaining the DE dark-spot data.
