A classic filament disruption/coronal transient event ocurred on 10 January 1974. After the prominence liftoff, “gradual” x-rays were recorded by Solrad 9. A white light coronal ejection, interpreted as a loop seen edge-on, followed. During the mass outflow, Hα loops formed at the original site of the prominence. The loops appeared also in EUV spectroheliograms, and rose rapidly before vanishing abruptly. During the disintegration of the loops the apices showed great enhancements and vertical spike structures. The overall behavior of this loop prominence system is compatible with reconnection models.
