spiral paths to the conjugate latitude. Suggest that the observed 6 or 7 minute duration may be due to (a) Average life time of fission products being of the order of minutes (b) Meta-stable states of atoms excited in atmosphere by electron impact. Further suggest the interest in injecting particles artificially into our region of naturally trapped radiation in the auroral belt and elsewhere.
