So I was filming a couple buddies skating . I must have been at about 150 - 200 feet when suddenly I heard it and I went down immediately. In the footage there is audio and car alarms are going off.you also see a perfect shadow of a fighter plane pass right over
Low flying jet almost wacked me

Wow!! That was ridiculous.
I live under wide open class G airspace. We have a group of 35 drone pilots and there are actually many more around. Our problem has been C-130s from an Air Force base that is nit even close by. They like to fly over our are and tour our little lakes. They are also flying far less than 400 feet from the tops of think lines were we often fly to get the best footage.
C-130s are slow but it is concerning when they come in so close to us.
Your video and experience is defiantly far outside an normal condition.

It would appear that the jet was off to the left of your position, so at least not on a collision course. Descending was the correct thing to do.

Click-bait title.
Skating in traffic, flying over people and moving cars... that's 'wacked' [sic]!

He was moving - around 360 mph based on 30 fps. Unfortunately I cannot think of any sufficiently accurate method to determine height from the shadow, even if the aircraft type were identified.
Really? Your telling me that ? I'm not happy with your reply. If anything I was sharing this so you guys can see this amazing footage. People like u make me wanna keep my footage private
Villa nueva Guatemala! I am from justo rufinio barrios zona 21. I live in la now
I was hoping that with the amount of detail the shadow has and the time being 11 am that it could be determined

Just pointing out three things I've never done.
Amazing is a matter of opinion.
If people like you are gonna put things on the web in a chat forum (to last for as long as we can imagine) they should expect that not everyone will have the same opinion.
Not sure why my opinion should affect your happiness.
Anyways thanks for watching everyone. I don't know if you guys saw but you can see a shock wave right after it passes with is just crazy.. there was no warnings no zones .I guarantee I would have been to blame for crashing into the billion dollar plane
It doesn't. I was never flying over people or cars though. I was clearly off to the side over the dirt... Safety first
