Preliminary search for low flux levels in the hard X-ray data, obtained during the 1976 transatlantic balloon flight, has brought to the detection of three weak sources in a region centered around 39 deg declination and ranging from 03 h 10 m to 09 h 00 R.A. The first one can be associated with the puzzling system X-Per and the second is compatible in position with the Seyfert galaxy MCG 8-11-11. The third, located in the general direction of the anticenter, around galactic latitude 30 deg, is a transient or highly variable object. In two days, in fact, its intensity falls below the sensitivity of the detector, so indicating a variation by a factor of at least 6. No previous X-rays sources are reported at its location. A possible association with the type 1 Seyfert galaxy MKN 382 is discussed.
