SOHO has a long list of discoveries of Sun-grazing comets, which were made by the experts in that field. I've never claimed to be one of them.
That said, I found it interesting that in this particular case, if you watch this animated gif, before the CME hits SOHO, you will see a streak which moves in successive frames up along and BELOW the occultation support...
Now this is not cosmic radiation, as the streak is seen in successive frames, in exactly the position one would expect if it were indeed really a bit of space stuff.
In the initial frames of the animated gid you can follow the progress of other "streaks" which pass by before the CME.
This particular streak is not visible before it is "illuminated" or "painted" by the CME.
I must say generally that smear campaigns work - we've seen another example down below on the channel A data from Hyugens -

Lest anyone be confused by RL's little smear campaign
