It looks like a bit of contrail caught when the sun is low on the horizon ... BUT then it moves faster than any contrail I've seen ... it's hauling arse... and is so short!
So, maybe a short-burst contrail, in a fast moving, narrow river of air... but then it re-appears (according to guy recording)?
IF it re-appears, then the idea it's a rare contrail kinda goes away.
So... dunno... cool and not easily explained (from a guy who had a few semesters of meteorology last century).
But the folks just saying "contrail" didn't watch the whole thing.
