The extraordinary gamma burst of 5 March 1979 continues to be studied in detail. The burst GB 790305 began with a short, very strong initial impulse with a hard radiation component and an annihilation line. The initial impulse was followed by pulsating radiation characteristic of an X-ray pulsar and having a relatively soft spectrum. The most probable explanation of burst structure would be rotation of a neutron star with a period 8 + or - 0.05 s. The object was observed repeatedly during the period 1979 to 1983. A burst source, GBS 0526-66, is a series of recurrent bursts. During 687 days of observations 16 repeated bursts were observed. The strongest and most prolonged repeated burst was registered on 27 Feb. 1982. The temporal structure and energy spectra of GB 820227a are discussed. In contrast to GB 790305, these recurring bursts have no initial impulse with a hard radiation component. This evidently indicates a significant difference in the mechanism of generation of GB 790305 and the recurrent bursts.
