Video editing pretty well done, but still editing! We can see clearly the object passing in clouds without decrease its brightness. The trajectory curve is not similar to meteor filmed trail. And on some pictures, we see a clear black dot at the top of trail and not a glowing object.

Photo

Sunlight setting reflecting off the white trail of a jet

This photo was taken by a teenager from South Wales, UK and it was published on NASA- APOD website in a first time as being a meteor then later corrected.
It is very often described as meteor by journalists in science articles.
As explained in these different web's pages from space.com , ceticismoaberto.com , walesonline.co.uk et du sun The better hypothesis is a Concorde contrail reflecting the setting sun, because regularly it flew over South Wales on its flight path to and from the United States. A third picture with wide field of view confirm airplane trail origin
It is still two hypothesis: jet contrail illuminated by the sun orsmoldering rejection of fuel.

This photo is muddled usually for a meteor
