The TMZ video wouldn't play for me but there is a version of the video here:

To me it looks like a sunlit aircraft + short contrail. On the video, I even
think I can actually hear an aircraft sound. In addition, the spectators in the
video say "Planes!" and "There is two of them. Did they collide?".
