Brown and colleagues estimate small near-Earth-object flux using bolide observations and conditional optical-energy calibration. Integral luminous efficiency depends on energy and population, assuming a6000K spectrum; fitted6–15% and adopted5–20% ranges qualify a universal10% assumption. The article retains an unusual excluded event and explicit nonendorsement by the US DoD.
