Scientific paper

Miss BOTLEY has brought to light some interesting observations of auroral-like glows of meteors during some meteoric shower periods1-3 and during periods of auroral activity4. These observations indicate that this phenomenon is associated with the atmosphere, in which meteors appear, being in an ionized or excited condition. There is evidence for such a general increase of electron density in the E region during meteoric shower periods5. It is also known that the atmosphere above 80 km is ionized by auroral activity6. The predominant constituents of the atmosphere in this region are atomic oxygen and molecular nitrogen7.
