    We studied transient fields on a perfectly conducting sphere excited by a half sine pulse wave and examined the Poynting vectors, the energy densities and the energy velocities of the creeping waves. We used FILT (Fast Inversion of Laplace Transform) method for transient analysis. We compared the amplitudes of the creeping wave with that of steady state high frequency approximation obtained by the Watson transformation. The main results are: (1) We confirmed in the transient response that the pulse propagates clockwise and counterclockwise along the geodesic circumference. (2) In the transient electromagnetic field observed in the E-plane we can recognize creeping waves clearly. (3) The existence of creeping waves is not clear in the H-plane. (4) The pulse wave propagation on the sphere is seen more clearly from the Poynting vectors and the energy densities than the field components. (5) The energy velocity of the wave front is equal to the light velocity as should be. The energy velocity of the wave body becomes smaller with the passage of time. (6) The amplitude of the creeping wave for a beat pulse and the amplitude obtained by the Watson transform for mono spectrum agree in the order of relative error below 25%.
