its fake. pause it on the jet and look at how the edges of the jet are faded. besides, the jet is also VERY clearly seen when its paused. it should be totally stretched and unable to see.
Seen this one on the news earlier today, apparently the jet was taking off from an air field and the soldier was in the Wong spot at the wrong time. Theres a military investigation into it now.

so it is not allowed to hae an....ehh....High FPS camera?
Cool video, but one thing stands out. There is a distinct lack of engine noise after the aircraft flys overhead.
I lived on a RAAF Base a while back. I witnessed many F/A-18 and BAe Hawk takeoffs and flybys. As the aircraft passed overhead, there was an ear-splitting rumble. This continued for some time as the aircraft moves away.
The thing is, that these flybys were part of a circuit, so that aircraft were pretty high. For this aircraft to pass so low, and not generate so much noise after it's passed, the credibility of this video is dramatically reduced.
Also, the person standing under the aircraft didn't cover their ears. A jet that low would wreck your hearing.
A video of a flyby to illustrate my point about noise after the aircraft pass. Note they are significant;y higher than the Harrier.
looks cool, but it's bs. a throttled jet flying that close would probably cause blood to come out of your ears. and it would pick up A LOT of dust not to mention the reporter and the camera man. The Jet wash could possible cause servere burns. A standard camera could not capture that jet so well, and I'm not sure a digital camera would fare much better. It does look cool though.
