The presence of transient electric fields inside the plasma sheet of the earth's magnetotail is inferred from observations of proton-electron counterstreaming under certain well determined conditions. Measurements of the angular distributions and the energy spectra of the proton (Ep = 300 keV or greater) and electron (Ee = 220 keV or greater) intensities by IMP-7 and 8 S/C provide the means to compute the amplitude of the transient fields. Estimates of the 'effective' potential along the magnetic field were obtained independently for the energetic proton and electron populations. After Compton-Getting correction of the proton intensities to the frame of reference moving with the translation velocity of the ambient energetic proton population, the two independent estimates were found to be in good agreement, yielding energy gains along the B-field of about 30-100 keV.
