...obviously this was property of the U.S. government, and they don't want to talk about it. Therefore, I don't want to talk about it.

Hey, thanks for replying to the ping. I see that you post on an infrequent basis, so I do appreciate the elaboration. Looking back (for no other reason than being an inordinately curious individual by nature), I see that you are a former Army pilot, a flight instructor, charter jet pilot, corporate jet pilot, and currently a NewsChopper 2 pilot (presumably for the station that filmed and aired the video we're all talking about here).

As you say, "obviously this was property of the U.S. government...", and earlier you said that after filming it and seeing what it could do, you understood why the government wouldn't want to talk about it.

Now I'm going to assume that you are who and what you say you are, I see no reason not to. Given your vantage point when you filmed this, and given your aviation expertise, I believe that you're in an exceptional position to at least approximately identify what you saw...property of the U.S. government, behaving in a way that convinced you they (the government) wouldn't want to comment on it.

Apparently, authorities are now coming forward to Fox News saying unequivocally that this was simply the contrail of a jet. I would take it you don't believe that's what you saw, and what you filmed.

At any rate, I am reassured by your comment that what you saw was of U.S. origin, and I'll leave it at that. Thanks again for your insight!
