During a balloon flight in Cuba a short burst of radiation coincident with a class 11 solar flare was observed at 1305 UT on March 20, 1958. Associated with this flare were ionospheric disturbances. a magnetic crotchet and earth current disturbance. and solar radio emission at 3 and 27 cm. It is concluded that the observations can be accounted for by electrons on the solar surface accelerated to about 1 Mev during the growth of the flare. (W.D.M.)
