We present observations in a distant magnetotail between October 2003 and January 2004. During this time, the Wind spacecraft voyaged behind ALMOST EQUAL TO MINUS SIGN 200 RE and recorded the magnetotail dynamics as a response of many solar wind disturbances, which also affected the magnetosheath, magnetosphere and surface of the Earth.

We investigate two cases of interplanetary shocks, which were observed by the spacecraft in the solar wind (ACE, SOHO, Cluster, Geotail) and in the far magnetotail (Wind). The IP shock passages through the far magnetotail were connected with observations of complex structure tail movement including possible fast plasma tailward flow bursts.
