A Monte Carlo simulation of the propagation of relativistic solar flare protons in the interplanetary magnetic field was used to understand the intensity‐time profiles and anisotropies for the GLEs on November 22, 1977 and May 7, 1978. Mean free paths for pitch angle scattering of 0.5 AU and 5 AU, respectively, were deduced. The injection of the solar flare protons had an extended time structure that was found to be of similar shape as the x ray burst profiles in the bands 1–8 Å and 0.5–4 Å, respectively.
