Between October 22 and November 4, 2003 the Wind spacecraft repeatedly encountered the distant geomagnetic tail from XGSE = -120 RE to XGSE = -180 RE. During the major solar storms on October 28 - November 1, 2003 Wind observed an unusually hot plasma sheet with the electron temperature often reaching 1 keV. High energy solar particles were present both outside and inside the magnetosphere. The magnetic cloud event with strongly northward interplanetary magnetic field on October 23, 2003 produced unusual low frequency fluctuations in the distant magnetotail, lasting more than 17 hours. The periodic fluctuations indicate that the entire magnetotail was flapping with a period of ~10 min.
