I read the article of Peter which is definitely very interesting stuff.
Peter deals especially with meteor outbursts (part 3 and 4 of the paper)
and came up with some new ideas.
However, Peter uses another way of determining the perception

By the way, Peters papers are not available in the Internet, but
I'm quite sure, that he will send you reprints if you request them. You
only need to contact him by e-mail: peter@max.arc.nasadot gov
