In this work, an event of an abrupt streaming reversal in the energetic particle intensities from tailward to earthward, which was observed by the IMP-8 S/C inside the magnetotail plasma sheet at a distance of about 35 RE from the earth is studied. This event presents strong evidence for an encounter with a tailward moving source of energetic particles. Plasma and magnetic field observations show that both the tailward and the earthward energetic particle streaming extended throughout the plasma sheet and not just at the plasma sheet boundary, where the intensities were smaller than those well inside the plasma sheet. The abrupt reversal in the streaming direction was detected to occur within about 10 s for both the high (E greater than or equal to 300 keV) and low (E greater than or equal to 50 keV) energy ion intensities.
