Scientific paper

We present the lightcurves of two microlensing events from the MACHO Project data that are likely to be due to lenses with masses similar to Jupiter's mass. Although the MACHO Project survey data are not sufficient to definitively establish the identification of planetary mass lenses in these cases, observations by microlensing follow-up networks such as GMAN and PLANET should be able to definitively determine the planetary nature of similar events which may occur in the near future.
