UFO or monster from Harry Potter? Help me identify this flying object. Video in blog.

A woman who goes by Zoee Montoya on Tik Tok posted a video from her airplane window, while I flight, of a black, elongated shape, that appeared to be flying in the distance. She jokingly captioned it “Dementor!! The Dark Shadow!” as a reference to the creatures in Harry Potter. It kind of looks like one crossed with a comet. Either way, it’s an unexplained odd object flying above our heads.

Is there anyone in our audience that flies or is in aerospace that can shed light on what this could be? I thought it might have been a smudge on the window, but it changes shape as the camera moves. Have a look or two. I’ve watched it 4 or 5 times now. One of the posts talking about it says, “It’s an airplane traveling the other way with a contrail. It’s in the shadow of higher clouds so it appears dark against the brightly lit sky.” Maybe. If that were the case, wouldn’t we see the body of the plane, maybe a wing or tail? What do you think it is?
