Symmetric vortex-antivortex and asymmetric vortex-vortex modes have been observed in long Josephson tunnel junctions. These two modes manifest themselves as two nearly identical resistive branches in the current-voltage characteristics. The voltage spacing between the symmetric vortex-antivortex and the asymmetric vortex-vortex modes is only about 3% of the voltage spacing between the first and second resistive branches. Except for a slight displacement in current these two modes almost completely overlap in voltage and current.
