Abstract
High cadence high spatial resolution observations in H-alpha with the Swedish 1-m Solar Telescope on La Palma have revealed the existence of small-scale highly dynamic bright blobs. A fast wavelength tuning spectro-polarimeter provides spectral information of these structures. The blobs slide along thin magnetic threads at speeds in the range from 45 km/s to 111 km/s. The blobs have a slight elongated shape and their lengths increase by a factor of 3 from close to 1/2 arcsec when they first appear till they disappear 1-2 min later. The brightest blobs show the highest speed. The widths of the H-alpha line emission of the blobs correspond to non-thermal velocities in the plasma less than 10 km/s which imply that they are not the result of shock driven heating. The dynamic character of the bright blobs is similar to what can be expected from an MHD fast mode pulse.
