The p280 U-turner hassler is an oscillator that was discovered by Christopher D'Agostino on August 14, 2023. It was originally found in a 160-cell form which used 34P7s, and was reduced to 86 cells by iNoMed the day after by replacing the p7s with figure eights.

A period-140 oscillator can be made by adding another U-turner, shown here:

A 43-glider synthesis of the p280 with figure eights was found by confocaloid on August 16, 2023. On the next day, Chris857 found a 33-glider synthesis of the same version. A reduction to 29 gliders was submitted to Catagolue on August 18.
