Actually pretty interesting footage, doesn't look like a reflection or anything. Without being able to read chinese however it's hard to tell if anyone in the comments have any insight into it being a cg faker or something like that

True, though something odd is that there aren't multiple videos. Multiple ones available are all from the same building, maybe even same room

this video was linked from the thread and appears to be a compilation of several videos shared on social media: https://youtu.be/WWo0b-g0iZU

Looks like a "reverse batman signal" to me.

Yeah to me it looked like there were several different videos, and even though I have no idea what's being said the tone of the background voices seemed to sound like other people nearby noticed it

You mean, a shadow cast by a building onto a cloud? That seems like the most plausible explanation, but if that's the case, why isn't it a constant feature, why is it only appearing now? Also, it looks more sharply defined than I would expect if that were the case.

I feel that if it was cast from a building, the shadow would be stretched down to the source. However maybe a shadow from some kind of kite?
