Low-frequency instability in a high-beta plasma are investigated theoretically with reference to the magnetotail and the solar-wind geometry close to the sun. The full electromagnetic plasma response is calculated in the low-frequency limit with respect to the ion bounce time. The transverse wavelength of the perturbed electromagnetic field is of the order of the ion Larmor radius. A quadratic form which allows etimation of the growth rate is obtained. The nonlinear stage of ballooning-type instability is expected to locally reconnect the magnetic field and to lead to plasmoid generation. The proposed theory fits observations performed in the near-tail region by satellites and from the ground in auroral regions.
