A BALLOON-BORNE omnidirectional scintillation detector was aloft over Palestine, Texas (L value about 1.6), during the solar approach of the Ikeya-Seki comet on October 20, 1965. One of the aims of this experiment was to observe any possible enhancements to the low-energy atmospheric photon flux induced by the passage of the comet. The perihelion of the comet occurred on the `dark' side of the Sun with an orbital inclination of about 40° to the ecliptic and therefore had an apparent perihelion of about 1° around the Sun as observed from the surface of the Earth.
