Abstract
The increase in cosmic rays observed by neutron monitors with high-energy cutoff, on April 29, 1973, is interpreted to be a definite high-energy phenomenon. This is not associated with any solar flare or interplanetary disturbance. The association of the increase in intensity with geomagnetic index Dst variation indicates a possibility that the high-energy event was caused by a magnetospheric phenomenon.
