That's pretty cool, but not it.
I'm about 80% sure it was something that NASA (or perhaps another government agency) put together. They made a huge deal about it being in HD at the time (the first polar solar eclipse captured in HD from an airplane). I want to say they flew two planes and got it from two different angles, and chased the eclipse to experience totality for a bit longer.
It's kind of weird that I can't find it now. It's one of the things that got me really interested in astronomy when I was in high school.
