-- and select Image C3, Resolution 1024, paste this 2021-02-14 - 2021-02-16 in Dates, click on Generate and after it loads the images click on Play and zoom in to about 150% or more and look to the left of the sun about halfway between the sun and the edge of the image. What ever it is is visible moving clockwise from 8:00 to 12:00 about half the radius from the occulting disc hiding the sun to the edge of the circular image.

Most likely it's a comet. SOHO detects them every other day.
At least 4000 of such objects have already been detected since it became operational in 1995.

Have you (or anyone else of you EU forum members) actually looked at the SOHO movie images referenced in the OP? The download only takes a few seconds, viewing time will depend on how many times you replay it to ponder upon how the perspective affects the apparent velocity and trajectory of this object.
After having seen dozens of SOHO comet movies since SOHO was launched, this particular one, if it is a comet, seems peculiar as it has no tail and a unique orbit.

I will look, give me a few days for bandwidth. I will say, I've followed the SOHO feeds since the days of FTP only for the latest gifs/movs. Star Dust is a strange thing though, and depth/distance is a visually tricky thing. I've seen very strange things over the years though, quite unknown to me.

I saw it. Seems like a tiny comet to me. It comes in, hooks around and out it goes again.
