Depending on how strong a given magnetic flux is, which they do vary in size and intensity on the Sun, that can affect how fast or how slow a flare will move along the magnetic flux line.
SOHO has some excellent videos on effects like this.

But faster than lightspeed?
Possible the video is not real time but speeded up I suppose.

You guys might want to do a little more research...
That weren't NO flare.

There might even be some easy to find footage that shows Sun/object encounters.

Hint: The Sun sends a mass out VERY quickly that redirects the trajectory of the object.
It's a LOT clearer than this footage.
Enjoy.

That object is actually closer to the camera than you might think. It's more than likely a bird illuminated by the sun. (A bird crossing the line of sight so close to the sun would be bright rather than appear in silhouette).
Originally posted by RFBurnsIts some of the flare that gets caught by the magnetic field and follows the magnetic field up, around and back down again, which looks like something bouncing off the Sun.

Either that or something obscenely massive & fast just used the Sun's gravity to whip itself in a direction for some reason...-shrugs-

isn't it kinda impossible for something to bounce off the Sun ?
i am sure that whatever did come that close would be vaporized.
i think it's something shooting by in our atmosphere and has distorted the picture making it appear as if it hit the Sun.
