My guess is AWE #225 (Alaska Airlines from Cabo to SFO).

That plane wouldn't have a contrail dropping down toward the western horizon. It's high enough, but may be at too high an angle to be in the view of the available images, or it may be in an area of the atmosphere too dry for creation of contrails.

I may have missed something, but I don't see any other planes coming in from the direction of Hawaii above 30,000 feet.

UPS902 was on the same exact route just minutes apart from AWE808

When I see the video (alternate version here) I see roughly South to North movement...thus my guess of one of the Alaska Air flights from Mexico (could also be #221 from Puerto Villarta). Other people are claiming West to East movement.  Especially look at about :45 sec. into the above video, and look just before they zoom in...it appears that the camera is pointing towards the Southwest?
