Haven't seen it before but nice to look at so thanks for sharing.
It looks like a comet.
Do you know if it was shown by any of the media? I would be surprised if it wasn't.

Yeah, I saw this thread yesterday actually. I wasn't very convinced. I mean, sure, the "plane" in question looks a bit oddly shaped, yet the shape of the "contrail" clearly brings to light that it is indeed just a plane.
Also yesterday, they were spraying above my town. They were doing the vertical perspective just as this one is.
Look at the top of the contrail, it's just a plane. The color is caused by the sunset (which the camera man has cautiously evaded from filming, perhaps thanks to the house nearby.)
Keep up the good work, but I can't say I'm impressed with this one.

No Planetzog,
Found it on YouTube but that's a good idea. Let me see if I can find a German media station online
Do you really think it could be a comet? Do comets even enter into our atmosphere? I know meteorites (when they hit) do, but comets? Hmmmm, gotta look into that too!

It almost looks like it's not even moving at times.
Interesting.

Wow I have no idea what that is, it sure is interesting though. In the beginning, first 30 sec or so it looks like a fiery hand punching through the atmosphere. I can only assume it's going to be determined to be a plane or rocket of some sort and the setting sun is playing tricks on us lighting up the contrail like that. That's my guess but I have nothing to base that off of other than past experience on ATS, nice find btw.edit on 12-2-2011 by bigern because: grammar
