Wow, that's amazing. Anyone have a good link explaining the phenomenon we're seeing there?

I don't but I did notice how sped up it must be. In the lower part you can see cars driving along and it is clear it is sped up a lot .

One of these happened right before my eyes on a westward drive home in Los Angeles in the mid-nineties. As the Wikipedia article mentions, some launches out of Vandenberg are at just the right time to create these.

It was dazzling to behold. At first I had no idea what I was seeing because of the lack of context or warning. I was able to work it out, of course, but it's easily one of the strangest and most arresting things I've ever seen.

I expect it was one shot per note, trimmed to the right timing, then arranged in the correct order with judicious use of ctrl-c>ctrl-v. So a decent amount of work, but for someone who knows their way around the editor nothing too egregious.

If I remember correctly, the point of the video was if this happens to you, don't act like a seal, don't start splashing and flailing, look the shark directly in the eyes letting it know you're a predator as well, and then go boop I got ur nose and push it away.

Yeah I believe she is intentionally splashing to get it's attention.
