First results of the balloon-borne experiment SPHERE are presented. The primary spectrum in the energy range 1016 – 5 · 1017 eV is compared with data of other experiments. The primary energies were reconstructed using characteristics of the Vavilov-Cherenkov radiation from extensive air showers, reflected from a snow surface.
