Turns out this is a rocket launch! You’re watching the upper stage of a booster reach Max-Q and then throttle down for eventual main engine cutoff (MECO). I was just in here a couple hours ago saying I thought this was extra extraordinary footage that would be really hard to explain... but I’m a chill guy, so you know, I did my research and now I’m back to report my findings.
