Wingtip vortices are tubes of circulating air that are left behind a wing as it generates lift.[1] One wingtip vortex trails from the tip of each wing. The cores of vortices spin at very high speed and are regions of very low pressure. To first approximation, these low-pressure regions form with little exchange of heat with the neighboring regions (i.e., adiabatically), so the local temperature in the low-pressure regions drops, too.

Looks to be where the ocean meets land. On the zoomed in perspective, it looks like fast rotating wingtip vortices .

Left behind from some type of craft?

What's the timespan on that video? I think you just witnessed the formation of an altocumulus cloud, that's all...

This wave cloud pattern formed over the Île Amsterdam, in the lower left corner at the tip of the triangular formation
en.wikipedia.org...
The atmospheric internal waves that form wave clouds are created as stable air flows over a raised land feature such as a mountain range, and can form either directly above or in the lee of the feature. As an air mass travels through the wave, it undergoes repeated uplift and descent. If there is enough moisture in the atmosphere, clouds will form at the cooled crests of these waves. In the descending part of the wave, those clouds will evaporate due to adiabatic heating, leading to the characteristic clouded and clear bands.
There are never any straight lines in nature

Shock created from some type of force. You could see a object at the epicenter. Nice video. Real question is why are all those ships sitting along craters on the dark side of the moon.

Does anyone know where to watch LIVE ISS streaming? Thanks

Here you go ...Live stream from the ISS
www.nasa.gov...
Or here on UStream
www.ustream.tv...
Or is it....they're not streaming all the time?
Live video from the International Space Station includes internal views when the crew is on-duty and Earth views at other times. The video is accompanied by audio of conversations between the crew and Mission Control. This video is only available when the space station is in contact with the ground. During "loss of signal" periods, viewers may see a test pattern or a graphical world map that depicts the station’s location in orbit above the Earth. Since the station orbits the Earth once every 90 minutes, it experiences a sunrise or a sunset about every 45 minutes. When the station is in darkness, external camera video may appear black, but can sometimes provide spectacular views of lightning or city lights below.

Yeah I believe its all the time exept for when they "lose contact "
I was watching a short while ago but it went into Earths shadow .. now they seem to have lost contact
This is from UStream .
