Microquasars, enigmatic X-ray binaries with relativistic high-energy jets, occasionally eject massive jet blobs, which are far more energetic than the continuous jet flow seen in the usual state. Because those massive jet-ejection events are rare (a few per year) and difficult to predict, they have been hardly observed with X-ray detectors. We have successfully observed a massive jet-ejection event from the microquasar SS 433 with RXTE. The source undergoing the ejection shows a variety of new phenomena including fast time variability (on time scales of 10 seconds), a QPO-like feature at 0.1 Hz, and bursting activities, none of which had been detected from this system.
