Squeeze-out, defined as a component of the collective flow of nuclear matter that corresponds to the preferential emission of particles out of the reaction plane, has been observed in Ca+Ca, Nb+Nb, and Au+Au collisions at energies ranging from 150 to 1050 MeV/nucleon. Conclusions regarding information on the assumed hot compressed fireball formed in the reaction zone have been suggested. Qualitatively, the results can be described more economically in terms of the cascade process with an imposed identical-particle symmetry, a broken rotational symmetry, and the known nuclear shadowing effect. This explanation weakens the justification for a dynamical description that assumes the formation of a hot compressed fireball.
