The UV spectrum of the star Alpha Cam (09.5 Ia) was observed for 72 hours continuously in September 1978, with IUE. During these three days the star shows gradual short-term changes of the edge velocity of the C IV and N V resonance lines. The change is largest for the lines formed at large distance from the star, and may be due to either UV-flux variations of the star or variations in the mass loss rate (puffs). Evidence is also found for erratic very-short terms variations of the edge velocities. These are probably correlated with the ionization equilibrium: the ions with the highest ionization potential showing the largest variations.
