The episode of intense solar activity on 4 and 6 November 1997 resulted in large and extended particle events observed by the Ulysses and WIND spacecraft. Ulysses was at a heliocentric distance of 5.34 AU, very close to the solar equator and 100° west in heliolongitude from earth. WIND was near the earth at 0.99 AU from the Sun and in the ecliptic plane. Both spacecraft detected particle events and magnetic field structures related to this intense activity. A likely scenario for these particle events is proposed. The differences in the particle intensity profiles observed by both spacecraft are explained in terms of their location with respect to the solar activity site, the existence of interplanetary structures traveling towards the spacecraft, and the nature of particle transport from the source up to the two spacecraft.
