  Recent analysis of the interstellar helium fluxes measured in 2009-2010 at
Earth orbit by the Interstellar Boundary Explorer (IBEX) has suggested that the
interstellar velocity (both direction and magnitude) is inconsistent with that
derived previously from Ulysses/GAS observations made in the period from 1990
to 2002 at 1.5-5.5 AU from the Sun. Both results are model-dependent and models
that were used in the analyses are different. In this paper, we perform an
analysis of the Uysses/GAS and IBEX-Lo data using our state-of-the-art 3D
time-dependent kinetic model of interstellar atoms in the heliosphere. For the
first time we analyze Ulysses/GAS data from year 2007, the closest available
Ulysses/GAS observations in time to the IBEX observations.
  We show that the interstellar velocity derived from the Ulysses 2007 data is
consistent with previous Ulysses results and does not agree with the velocity
derived from IBEX. This conclusion is very robust since, as is shown in the
paper, it does not depend on the ionization rates adopted in theoretical
models.
  We conclude that Ulysses data are not consistent with the new LISM velocity
vector from IBEX. In contrast, IBEX data, in principle, could be explained with
the LISM velocity vector derived from the Ulysses data. This is possible for
the models with the interstellar temperature increased from 6300 K to 9000 K.
There is a need to perform further study of possible reasons for the broadening
of the helium signal core measured by IBEX. This could be an instrumental
effect or due to unconsidered physical processes.
