Details:
When I began imaging AR12037 on the 18th April at 07:58UT I spotted these two bright points in the penumbra of the main spot, they were very bright initially and disappeared after around 5 minutes. I am unsure what they were as there were no flares reported for that region that day. Any help in finding out what this phenomenon was would be gratefully appreciated. Was it Ellerman bombs, a sub-flare or just very bright penumbral grains?

I envision it as an infused filament. Kind of like a room temprature thin magnetic streamer,. -plastic- straw,. Eventually the straw burns away, making a sort of jet like plume in the process.
