The video was shot from a news helicopter which for the sake of this argument I'm going to assume was flying relatively level. At the :32 sec mark the camera is aimed in a way that shows both land and sky with a level horizon. The aircraft in question is moving from the horizon up.
You can visually see the aircraft with the contrail forming directly behind it.
There is no way you could visually see the aircraft and have an intact contrail that reached to the horizon. It would have broken up long before that. There is just too much distance for those to lines to intersect.
Whatever it might be it originated a few miles off the California coast and took flight at sea level.
