I stripped a few frames out of the video and used Image J to create a
animated gif.

What I observe is:. The blackness to the right and left of Mercury
alters as the CME passes by. Part of the CME wave is apparently captured
by the object and the rest goes onto pass by Mercury. The object grows
in intensity until it is close to or equal to that of Mercury. As the
object intensity grows there is distinct structural formation
appearing. There appears to be a shock wave forming to the right of the
object in the last few images. I have no idea of what it is but it is
not an imaging fault as it was observed by another solar satellite.
