Abstract
WE report an unusual event observed during our search for electron antineutrino Ve bursts of extraterrestrial origin1. Our experiment uses a deep underground Ve burst-detector station, adjacent to the Brookhaven Solar Neutrino Observatory2 at a depth of 4,400 metres water equivalent (m.w.e.) in the Homestake Gold Mine in Lead, South Dakota. At this station we have placed a number of large water Cerenkov counters (Fig. 1) designed to detect Ve interactions by the Cerenkov radiation from positrons resulting from Ve + p →n + e+ (ref. 3).
