A violent evolution of the September 18, 1995 eruptive prominence is studied. The fast changes of the prominence structure started immediately after a weak radio burst on 3 GHz indicating the presence of non-thermal processes. A comparison with Yohkoh soft X-ray pictures was made. A detailed analysis of observations indicates magnetic field line reconnection, mainly in the space below the rising Hα prominence. The reconnection processes are manifested by structural changes of the Hα prominence and X-ray loops and also by the character of Doppler velocities in the Hα spectrum formed close to the reconnection space.
