The results of temperature and time (at T = 4.2 K) dependent magnetization (M) measurements on polycrystalline high T{sub c} superconductor EuBa{sub 2}Cu{sub 3}O{sub 7{minus}{delta}} are reported for different magnetic fields from 2.2 kOe to 35 kOe. The measurements were performed in the field-cooled regime (measuring the Meissner effect). A new phenomenon is found: the magnetization sign inversion from negative to positive during the time at which the external conditions (T,H) remains unchanged. The differential susceptibility in a new mixed state with M {gt} O is diamagnetic. It is shown that origin of this state is not connected with a flux trapping, but rather caused by the unusual nature of the vortex themselves in FC mixed state of high T{sub c} superconductors.
