The lower atmosphere also typically contains a boundary between two distinct regions (the troposphere and stratosphere), but that boundary (the tropopause) displays quite different behavior. However, atmospheric thermoclines, or inversions, can occur, e.g. as nighttime cooling of the Earth's surface produces cold, dense, often calm air adjacent to the ground. The coldest air is next to the ground, with air temperature increasing with height. At the top of this nighttime boundary layer (which may be only a hundred meters) the normal adiabatic temperature profile of the troposphere (i.e. temperature decreasing with altitude) is again observed. The thermocline or inversion layer occurs where the temperature profile changes from positive to negative with increasing height. The stability of the night time inversion is usually destroyed soon after sunrise as the sun's energy warms the ground, which warms the air in the inversion layer. The warmer, less dense air then rises, destroying the stability that characterizes the nightly inversion.

I would have guessed it was heat left from planes exhaust passing by, but i found something else that is not so mysterious, so i'm not to sure he needs credit for anything.

I too am sceptic as to what this could be, but when the 'logical' explanations are worse than the out-there ones, then I have a problem.
Also I hate it when someone doesn't properly watch or listen to videos.
First of all there is no way the waves are from heat or anything else natural, they are too steady. Had you said anything like a technical glitch [which has been mentioned but there is also evidence against that as the wave is localised], then it would have made more sense.
I don't know what this is but I do know what it ain't. Don't you see it is just as ridiculous coming up with obviously impossible explanation as it is calling this alien farts?
Whatever it is, it has me [very mildly] intrigued, but I have yet to hear an adequate explanation from either side.
What the Lunar Wave is, is still not explained and a lot of work needs still to be done.

Is this for real?
I have not heard of this phenomena before?
ETA: I see DJW001 has linked to a hoax possibility, I'll have to look into this, and the other thread DJ linked.
The Wave is real that is for sure but what it is, is still a big mystery.
The rediscovery of Apollo 14 magazine 80 images last month could be related to this Lunar Wave phenomenon. NASA never has uploaded this images for some reason. It is time people start to debate and share ideas in a journey towards the truth for all mankind.

It is not a mystery at all. It has never been directly observed with the human eye or recorded on film, ergo it is a video artifact.
What about the mystery of the magnetic swirls on the the moon could they be related to this so called Lunar Wave.
