Disconnection events in comet P/Halley in April 1986 are discussed. Observations were made both from La Palma Canary Islands and Siding Spring, Australia. Different solar phenomena, such as solar flares, coronal mass ejections, coronal holes and the coronal neutral line, are examined as possible causes of the disconnection events. The solar wind counterpart of the coronal holes and the coronal neutral lines, the so called high speed plasma streams and the heliospheric current sheet, are the most often suggested causes. In our two cases we found the heliospheric current sheet to be the most likely cause, but also a high speed plasma stream might have caused the DE of April 12.
