Looks so unreal that at first I thought it was fake.

Like you, George, I thought this footage might be a clever fake.
I have viewed this video several times and still left wondering.
How was the video footage filmed from above in the right position and capturing the scene so well with the aircraft in relatively close proximity to the photographer and posing a possible air collision? It somehow looks a bit staged managed. Maybe a drone was used?
Intriguing!

I think it was done from another airliner flying in the opposite direction in the same corridor. Vertical separation between airplanes is only 1000 ft (considered too little today by many, but that’s the practice). I think there are cameras under some airplanes these days that entertain passengers, so the shot from above is possible.
The humidity conditions seem to have been right. The sky is full of what looked like decayed contrails.
So if I could quantify my level of trust, I’d say 90%
