Gamma ray bursts from collisions of primordial small mass black holes with cometsRecent results of BATSE (a collaborative project on independent sky surveys of gamm ray bursts and optical sky patrols) reinforce the isotropic distribution of gamm-ray bursts. Alternatively to cosmological models, collisions between small mas primordial black holes and comets in the Oort cloud are proposed. Assuming typical Oort cloud densities and velocities for comets and primordial black holes, many of the observed properties of gamma-ray bursts can be explained.
