Well, I suppose that what you have observed is what I have told folks who
knew EGP and then were disappointed by Starshine flashes (or the lack
thereof...). EGP is _huge_ compared to the Starshines, and the smaller the
ball, the less likely is it that its curvature allows a reflection to reach
you.
