Several fast impulsive phase solar flare bursts were observed by the Solar Maximum Mission instruments on 1980 November 8. The bursts were seen to be coincident in the O V 1371 Å line formed at 2.5 × 105 K and in 25-300 keV X-rays, to within the resolution time of 1 s. This lack of time difference is inconsistent with models for these flares in which the hard X-rays are produced at the top of a loop, followed by the formation of a thermal conduction front which travels to the footpoint where a UV burst is produced by heating. Models in which both X-rays and UV radiation are produced at the footpoint, or an electron beam transmits energy between loop top and footpoint is less than 1 s, are allowed.
