I would have to disagree. I watched a show about rockets on the history channel couple months ago. The Nuke powered engine was perfected in 1970. The scientist who led the project was interviewed on the show. Nasa created the engine but it was not used because supposedly us citizens would not like the idea of a nuke engine flying around in our skies. The project was taken from over Nasa by the CIA.

The US built nuclear powered aircraft. That is a fact. I've seen the engines myself and anyone can if they take a visit to INL in eastern Idaho. They are on display as a museum piece. Though I've heard they are still radioactive. The engines are the size of buses, maybe larger actually.
The idea was to have nuclear bombers flying in the air at all times. The advent of ICBMs and submarines made the idea obsolete.

Can anyone tell me if this is real?
Has this video been debunked or is this the real deal?

That video was shot in nightvision, so we don't know if the light was visible to the naked eye.
I'm just asking a question, has the video been examined?
As for someone saying "fake" that depends, is this someone actually basing that information on a digital inspection of the video for telltale signs of CGI, or is this person just saying fake because they THINK they know the answer?
The SOBEPS members – which investigation methods, based on scientific validation of facts, are reliable – ask for an analysis of the picture to Marc Acheroy, nuclear physicist at the Royal Military School; to professor François Louange, from a private digital imagery laboratory which cooperates with the CNRS (“Centre National de Recherche Scientifique”, National Center of Scientific Research, France) and the French Army; to the photography service of the Belgian royal institute of artistic patrimony, which has an efficient photographic laboratory; and to Dr. Richard Haines, who works for NASA in California. Result, after years of analysis: the Petit-Rechain picture is not faked.
Ten years later, the SOBEPS asks the Orsay Optical Institute for counter-analysis. The purpose of this manoeuvre is to analyse the picture with more recent software and to compare the results with the old data. Result: the picture is not faked, and they have discovered something rather surprising, which was invisible until then: a vortex of moving particles surrounding the vehicle. To this day, no one really knows the nature of those particles. It could be an advanced propulsion technology.
First lock on the target designated by the CRC. Position: "on the nose" 6 NM (Nautical Miles), 9000 feet, direction: 250. The target speed changes within minimum time from 150 to 970 knots, altitude coming down from 9000 to 5000 feet, then up to 11000 feet, and, shortly after, down to ground level. From this results a "break lock" after some seconds, the pilot losing the radar contact.
