I have seen that before when a plane breaks the sound barrier. Not sure what is happening exactly. It is almost like the air is ripping from itself... Can someone explain?

The exact reason is still being debated. Some think it has to do with a reaction to moisture from pressure while approaching and going past mach 1 (761mph) the speed of sound.. There's a few theories about it.
