that video - while scary - has been passed off as an F-16 numerous times. the link you provided, the maker actually goes so far as to splice footage of an F-16 into it.
the aircraft in question is reportedly a BAe Hawk from Cold Lake Alberta, Canada.
THIS is scary
a very close friend of mine was flying the Beech Baron which comes into view for about a nanosecond. they were on the way to Uvalde, Texas on an IFR flight plan. they canceled the IFR flight plan and continued to the airport visually, in the descent they went right through an active Military Training Route (which are not off limits).
