REALLY?
A contrail that burns THIS much, leaves no actual trail and engulfs the whole plane (and not appears just behind it, as it should)?
In addition, when the camera pans out, you can see that the sun has already set!
Please show me just an image of a similar contrail and I'll buy it.
I think this video shows ANYTHING but a contrail.
A huge meteor, a burning helicopter, the holy spirit, martians, you name it. Anything but a contrail.

My first thought was that it is a cloud being lit by the setting sun.
That doesn`t look like flames to me, notice that the "flames" don`t change shape or length and they don`t flicker.
light a match and watch how the flame moves and changes shape constantly.
I can`t really tell if it`s even moving or how fast it might be moving.
whatever it is I think the red color we see is a reflection from the setting sun.

It is a plane contrail lit by sunlight, not a fireball.
No idea for a second line...

Here you go, very annoying video though.
At 25 sec mark.

Offtopic...when posters of videos include some techno or gloomy music in their videos, I am sorry, but that discredits the video a lot...especially because we cannot hear the natural surrounding environment to make the video legit. "Sounds" like editing was maybe used as a gimmick to fudge with the video too.

Has anybody obtained the simplest data on this interesting video -- location, date/time, azimuth/elevation, estimated angular size, estimated angular rate and direction, other similar apparitions elsewhere in the sky??
Anything?

That really is a good video. High quality. A good find. I'd lean towards this one is legit. No hoax vibes or anything questionable in the video. .... Thanks! I enjoyed it.

This could be a useful site on contrails, see the forum topics.
contrailscience.com...

The video is from Brazil not Argentina. The photo is from Frias Argentina.
There is a second video from a second witness of the same sighting over
Porto Alegre Brazil of better quality. This one has all the information.
I don't have any doubt, it is a plane leaving a contrail iluminated by the
sun.

Iike I replied to Mianeye, in the link and images you just posted, you can clearly see the long trails behind the planes, made by the condensation left by the turbines.
In the video at hand, you see no trail whatsoever, just what appears to be the friction caused by the atmosphere against an inbound object.
About 1:40 into the video, you can clearly see the alleged Meteor/UFO shifting direction, traversing from a west-east direction, to what appears a donward tilt.
Do a search on Google images for sunlit contrail you will then understand that the POOR quality video has been edited to fool people, it certainly fooled you!!!
