I heard an analysis by some guy on another place (can't remember where) who said that it was traveling at over 1,000mph. That is one fast commercial aircraft.

...said that it was traveling at over 1,000mph. That is one fast commercial aircraft.

And, a pretty steep climb also. That's fighter territory, not airliner. Or, missile territory...

And how would he have any idea how fast it was moving? You have a video shot from a moving helicopter, of an object at extreme distance, filmed zoomed in with no other features visible (except that at some point, a plane flies across the screen in about 6 seconds, which should be a clue about how zoomed in we are).

So far as you can tell from the video, the thing is hardly moving at all.

Look at the zoomed-in part where you think it is “moving”, and watch the contrail features. You will see that the features stay a constant distance from the “moving object”, which means if the object is moving, it is dragging it’s contrail with it.
