Trick is to only put the most obvious choice as that ;)

Seems to be something creating clouds behind it
Possibly a drought relief thingy (i know there are duster planes to seed clouds so that they rain, it's possible this is something similar to actually make clouds), or just anything spraying water out the back

Looks like it's in the upper atmosphere.
My vote is for a meteorite burning up on entry, and the cloud is just dust.

Oh I saw this a few days ago,
they closed the airspace!
Looks like an object causing very high level atmospheric disturbance that the low sun is picking out, but other than that, fuck knows.
Hence, yes, it is a U.F.O. but in the old fashioned sense, not the new one that means aliens.

Rocket launch of some sort.
Looks like it's staging at 30 seconds in.
Of course, given an approximate time, location and direction it'd be pretty easy to determine what it was, but this info rarely accompanies such videos...

However, that doesn't detract from the fact that it still looks cool as fuck. *clicks*

This is what it is.....
A Minotaur 'Minuteman' style rocket looks identical to this.
Here's one.

Look at 2:15 for the propulsion 'spray' effect.
Then 2:20 for second stage.
I, for one, welcome our nuclear overlords.
