In our Roos-Serote et al. [2016] paper, we concluded that there is no compelling evidence for a correlation between Mars atmospheric methane concentrations and predicted meteor stream interaction events based on three factors: (1) accounting for all available methane data, not just the high methane considered by Fries et al. [2015]; (2) accounting for all predicted meteor events, not just selective ones considered by Fries et al. [2015]; and (3) a simple statistical analysis.
