@kawentzmann. It may be balanced out by the increased albedo from the contrails, but this is uncertain. Contrails are a transient phenomena, whilst CO2 is a constant.
@hubachecka It's just normal planes, they look much faster as they travel over a much shorter distance than the planes at the equator, because the earth unlike the map isn't flat. :)
Probably planes making runs near the arctic circle - technicaly the distance to travel across time zones is less as the degrees are closer together. They aren't UFOs or any US government superplane. I doubt those would upload to anywhere......
@hubachecka. They're trans-polar traffic. Airplanes fly great circle routes for best efficiency, so from the UK Asia & western North America are more or less over the Arctic.
Gigantisch - einfach nur gigantisch! Nehmt mal noch die nicht registrierungspflichtigen und rein privaten Flüge hinzu! Da kommen wir pro Jahr mühelos auf 100 Millionen mal Luft-Verkehr. Wohl 99,999 Prozent davon verlaufen glatt. Ich sollte mein Auto wohl noch öfters stehen lassen... Aber wie komm' ich zum Flughafen? Per Bahn, womöglich pünktlich? Hm, kein Kommentar....
Is it only me that noticed some of the dots are just disappearing over the ocean?! lol

At any one moment, there are ~5000 planes flying in EU or US Air Traffic Control areas, during peak periods.

Does this cause global warming?

@kawentzmann Yes, planes are pretty bad. Ships are aweful, but planes are pretty bad too. : )

This is neither 1080p, nor improved quality.

What are the super fast dots at 0:50 to 0:57 at the top left corner

it needs false coloring, as its difficult to get a good idea of yellow dots over white desert.
