I don't remember seeing the afterburner being on at takeoff. During the actual test it was too far away to see any afterburner.
We also did not hear a sonic boom, which would mean that it never went supersonic. OTOH, not sure if we would have heard it at well over 50 miles distance.

Thank you all for your input on the fastmover, and on the lingo used in the clip. I'll try to put together all the details in a report soon.
