Abstract In 1964, during flights of the ELECTRON satellites the narrow belts of energetic electrons (E e ≈ 6MeV) have been discovered in the Earth’s magnetosphere at L ≈ 2.75. The same structures approximately at the same magnetic shells were found in 2004 by the CORONAS-F and SERVIS-1 satellites. A comparison of the results of these experiments is presented. It is shown that the additional narrow belts of energetic electrons occur after intense magnetic storms (D st > 100 nT), in our cases, having a double-triple structure. The lifetime of these belts is a few months and their disappearance had a gradual character. The obtained results separated in time by 40 years suggest the constancy of the sources of particles of the Earth’s radiation belts and processes occurring in the magnetosphere, which ensures not only existence of the radiation belts, but also the recurrence of various exotic phenomena in the belts similar to the belt of energetic electrons at the inner magnetic shells.
