Some examples are presented of fast variations of the structure and the intensity of coronal condensations. For the observations the lines λ 5303 and λ 5694 have been used. Most of the observed phenomena are flare-connected, but all of them are related to some kind of Hα-activity. Sudden brightening of the emission lines may occur after the disappearance of a filament. The events have a duration of up to several hours and consist of hot clouds of high density that are slowly rising from the upper chromosphere into the lower corona.
