A peculiar kind of double-peaked Hα lines in solar flare spectra is described. The most likely explanation to this phenomenon is an absorption in the centre of the line due to mottles and fibrils situated above the flare. Another explanation might be a rapid rotatory mass motion in the filamentary structure of the flare itself. In some other flare spectra a slight inclination of the Hα-emission streak has been found indicating as well that rotatory mass motions may be present in flares.
