I just saw this video on youtube which was recorded yesterday. It shows something that looks like a sphere which is connected to the sun via a dark streak, which is later 'ejected' from it's position.

He said that he was told that's the earth, but this is clearly nonsense. I was curious and went to the SDO website directly. They provide videos of the last 48 hours in various wavelengths. And indeed, there was this phenomenon again, which is best visible for the sensors 171, 193 and 211:

I don't really have an explanation for this but it seems to be something genuine. I haven't seen such a thing in the sun's images ever before.
If you want to see this phenomenon, then you should download these videos soon, because I guess they map only the last 48 hours. I've downloaded the videos to make sure.
Any ideas about what this can be?
