Abstract
Frank et al. attribute the occurrence of transient dark spots in the terrestrial uv dayglow emission to absorption by water vapor from the tidal breakup and evaporation of small comets at high altitude. Such comets would be sufficiently large and numerous that they should already have been detected optically as faint slow‐moving objects. However, they have not been observed.
