The summer polar mesosphere was observed with the Sondrestrom 1.29-GHz radar with a new high-resolution data acquisition mode. On one occasion, a spatially narrow enhancement in the backscattered power was seen near an altitude of 88 km. Possible explanations are discussed and it is proposed that this layer may be the first example of polar mesosphere summer echoes detected above 1 GHz. Specifically, suggested that these echoes are enhanced Thomson scatter from a layer of charged aerosols, and speculate on the size and charge state.
