  ------------------------------------------------------------------------

A full HALO CME event was observed in LASCO on December 25, 2001 starting
in C2 at 10:34 UT in the South East. After analysis, the event is
determined to be a BACKSIDE event.  This event dominately starting over
the South East was very large and noticable in the real-time images and
therefore calls for explanation.
