2. CME
2.1. A. Candidate A
A.1. LASCO:
#CME 2012/06/05 21:33 UT (from CDAW)
angle: 59, velocity: 824 km/s


A.2. STEREO:
Major CME in both COR2-A and COR2-B. Frontside moving CME.


A.3. AIA & GOES
Filament eruption from/near AR 11493 (N13W11), not associated with any major flare

A.4. Comment:
Could be the source of disturbance


2.1. B. Candidate B
B.1. LASCO:
#CME 2012/06/06 20:36 UT (from CDAW)
angle: 173, velocity: 494 km/s


B.2. STEREO:
Major CME in both COR2-A and COR2-B. Frontside moving CME.


B.3. AIA & GOES
Eruption from AR 11494, associated with M2.1 flare (S18W04)

B.4. Comment:
Could be the source of disturbance



3. Other Comments
It is possible that the disturbance is due to the interaction between multiple eruptions. GMU's ENLIL run shows the interaction of CMEs on 5th and 6th reached the Earth on 7th of June.
