A preliminary overview of particle records obtained by the SLED instrument on Phobos 2, Feb-Mar, 1989 during Mars encounter, is presented. Data obtained while in close elliptical orbit around the planet (pericenter <900 km), in both spin and three axis stabilised mode, display evidence of energy related particle shadowing by the body of Mars. Flux enhancements, inside the magnetopause, in the approximate range 30 - 350 keV, recorded in the same general location at <900 km above Mars over an 8 day period during three consecutive elliptical orbits, are described. Possible explanations of these enhancements include the presence of quasi-trapped radiation at the planet and the detection of the propagation of accelerated particles along the boundary of the magnetopause from the day to the night side of Mars.
