A multiple imaging episode of the pulsar PSR 1133+16 has been detected with the Arecibo telescpe at 1400 MHz. The episode is characterized by intensity variations by a factor of 10 on a timescale of 4 minutes. The observed pulsar 'light curve' has the form of periodic fringes resembling the oscillations expected from simple caustic events. The fringes exhibit pulse longitude dependent shifts in time and frequency similar to those recently found in PSR 1237+25. This suggests another case of successful interstellar interferometry of the pulsar magnetosphere.
