Morphological features of the magnetic field near the so-called strange boundaries in the Halley cometosheath are described. They are derived from the data of Vega-1 and Vega-2, obtained at distances of (8 - 7)×105 and (4 - 3)×105km from the nucleus. Depressions (up to 20 - 30%) of the magnetic-induction modulus, (2-4)×104km wide, as well as large-scale discontinuities in the solar wind plasma flow, are observed in the vicinities of both boundaries. One of the discontinuities near the outer strange boundary observed by both Vega spacecrafts was identified by measuring the magnetic field and the plasma density as a large-scale rotational discontinuity with a lifetime of several days.
