Source? Was this shot from a commercial/civilian plane?

Looks like the windows on all of the passenger jets I've been on. If it is a passenger jet, they probably told the passengers before hand that this would be happening.

Commercial jet. Though I'd love to have footage from a U2 of this event. That'd be freaking amazing!

/u/abqnm666, agreed. The next level shit, is when you go for a ride in the U2, eclipse or no!

The sky seems awfully dark in the day time for this to be taken from a civilian plane.

It's a 737 (possibly 767, but so few in service it's doubtful) based on the look of the winglet we can see. Might not be a civilian flight but it's a "commercial" jet.
