Think about living next to a flight path. I do. I never take videos of passing planes. I doubt this video-taker did either.

But something incited him to pick up his phone (I guess) and start videoing, even before he could see the plane, which is out of view at the start. I suggest that he heard the RAT coming, knew it was totally out of the ordinary and thought it worth filming.

Why else would you film just another passing plane?

Also, looking at that video, I can see a "shadow" where the RAT would be. The RAT is very small compared with the landing gear, but there's something there. Largely lost to video compression, but it adds up.

And I can hear it, but not on every copy of that video. Try slowing the video down, but I don't know if that's reliable.
