Is the particle visible before striking the sensor?
No.
If not then how do you explain the two images? Using your explanation it would be a singular event.
No. It is two separate events. Cosmic ray strikes are random events. Did you notice that your "object" does not appear on the two frames in between the ones you posted?
Does the sensor have the capability of capturing images faster than the speed of light?
I don't understand what you mean. The particle does not move at the speed of light. It excites pixels of the sensor as it moves through them.
They are sequential

I edited it because of your more recent post. It seemed appropriate to put it in my response to that.

They are the result of cosmic rays striking the CCD sensor. This has been explained in the many, many threads about "things" near the Sun.
you make it sound, like the camera is a cheap China made stuff, that hasn't undergone any testing, and has unfiltered cosmic rays hitting the camera ccd sensor directly without damaging the sensor.
It is important to mention that the CCDs used by LASCO operate at -80± C, which allows them to capture the very faint coronal light . This makes them very sensitive to energetic particles (EPs), some of which are accelerated from solar processes (SEPs). The EPs show up as streaks in the image. The cool temperature, however, also lets the CCD recover quickly from such saturations
(Howard et al. 1997).

Why?
Phage, you should know that. Space is nothing, but, cosmic rays ... and especially around the sun, about everything there is cosmic rays ...
Because it basically means the images you get, are not to be trusted ... that equally applies to images of the sun, as other images.
