The upper atmosphere acts as a giant collector of cosmic dust swept by the Earth on its travel through space. The transient presence of cosmic dust in the upper atmosphere was detected by the rise of the luminance of the twilight sky during the activity of several meteoric showers either by balloon photometers launched by C.N.E.S. at Aire sur l’Adour (Fehrenbach et al., 1972 a) or by the similar photometer at the Pic du Midi Observatory (Link, 1973).
