Scientific paper
The possibility that the Giordano Bruno and Tunguska events, and the June 1975 meteoroid storm all had a common source is explored. These events are argued to be part of a larger complex of objects that range in size from millimeters to kilometers in diameters. Smaller objects may be derived from Taurid Complex objects, but tend to lose their identity as their orbits change in response to forces related to the Poynting-Robertson effect, solar wind pressure, and other nongravitational effects. Objects which produce fireballs and airwaves in the earth's atmosphere, impact flashes on the moon, and most meteorite falls do not occur in late June and are, therefore, not members of the Taurid Complex. The Taurid Complex has been derived from low-strength and low-density objects, i.e., comets, but inclusions or crusts of higher density cannot be ruled out.
