While strong evidence supports an exogenous source of impacting particles creating the albedo changes centered on the apex of the leading hemisphere of Iapetus (Buratti and Mosher 1995), the origin of these particles is still unknown. The spectral data do not provide supporting evidence for either a circumsaturnian or a^([sic]) interplanetary origin of the particles.
