It doesn’t go up or down. It instantly materializes. And what would be going up anyway? Before a detonation.

It appears that the wind has the “contrail” drifting to the right from behind the light post. When the “contrail” dissipates it starts at the top and moves down, which IMHO would lend credence to a contrail heading down.

BUT - as another freeper (another thread?) said somethink like “And the missile guys just happened to announce the explosion to warn people?”

I think it was an equipment malfunction in a vault under the street.

On YouTube, you can click on the gear icon to the right of the CC in a box, and set the playback to 1/4 normal. Whatever it is is going up then dissipates. The video itself says “watch from the third light post, something streams into the air”.
