Comparative analyses of observations of lunar transient phenomena.From the author's collection of more than 900 reports of lunar transient phenomena (LTP) covering the period 1540-1970, 771 positive plus 112 negative observations (several times more than any previously published analyses) with sufficient ancillary data were analyzed for five hypotheses of causes. Treated as two groups they were divided into four categories (gaseous, reddish, bluish, and brightenings) and were analyzed separately and combined with respect to the hypotheses. The five hypotheses involved effects of tides, sunrise, low-angle illumination, earth's magnetic tail, and solar particles.
