When a jet flying towards you disappears it would pass over you. The object was moving away, this is clear to me by looking at lens performance during the available video.

Thank you. But a ten minute video would likely not shed any more light on this other than some data on atmospheric shear as the smoke trail dissipates. The object generating the exhaust trail, moving almost straight away from the camera, would be half way across the Pacific once ten minutes elapsed. Not much a news camera could see there. The first minute tells whatever story a single hand-held camera can tell. The 'who' and 'why' parts of the story confound, but the 'what' was recorded pretty well.

Flight 808 flies eastward towards the coast and cameraman.

When I watched the shuttle launch from Merrit Island one thing that impressed me was just how long I was able to see the flight. It was just before dawn and I expected it be gone in a minute or so, ...it seemed like a good 4-5 minutes before I lost sight of of the flight. I may have gauged it wrong, it was a emotional moment for me as I was thunder shaken to my core.

About film. -— You would be amazed at how much information you can extrapolate from film if you carefully examine it. Many of the questions raised the last few days could be answered from the complete footage, I don’t expect we’ll ever see it.

Anyway, I was pleased to see the second video posted.

It wasn't a hand held camera it was an onboard cam on a swivel.
