Infrared anomaly heading our way!

Ok so just took a look on the Sat24 site, just in case there was some sneaky snow coming, when I spotted an object moving way faster than the wind and clouds, not sure what to make of it so if anyone has any clue please chime in!
And please don't say it's an airplane cause it is the size of a small county lol

Better posted in the Weather forum tbh. I wouldn't necessarily jump to the conclusion that it was pixelation. For all we know it could have been a flight of several USAF B52's flying in formation on their way to a base in the UK and certain atmospheric conditions made their combined contrails highly visible in IR. Remember its moving faster than the weather system around it and the animation covers 2 hours so the distance covered and the length of the animation would correlate with typical aircraft speeds.
