Scientific paper

The literature on Mars includes a very small number of reports of transient brilliant flares or intermittent series of flashing bright spots. These have been plausibly explained as specular reflections of the Sun from ice on the surface or sometimes crystals in clouds. Dobbins and Sheehan predicted that such events would occur in Edom Promontorium in early June, 2001; and a team of observers successfully confirmed them. The present paper describes similar, and almost unknown, observations of flashes in a different part of Mars in 1937. Speculations are offered about how well such events have been observed in the past.
