It would be good if someone here with the necessary technical skill could post one or two of these screen grabs so they can be readily enlarged and studied here.
I did that above. The enlargements were unenlightening.

These screen grabs were made to capture some details, if possible, regarding the object or island that moves from the limb region to the lower left corner of the screen and then beyond the camera's range. Only tigertatzen and I have so far been interested in this whatever-it-is.
A member of the Paracast forum has posted eight screen grabs from ~ 1:08 at the link below, the sequence of which I think shows slight changes in visible details and possible attitude of the object in the lower left. I looked for the latter remembering your comment the other night about an apparent change in the angle of pitch of the object. Island or flying object? I still think the latter.

NOTE: the eight screen grabs appear at the end of the Paracast thread's first page. I meant to post a more direct link to these large images themselves and will try to do so.
Do you expect them to show more than a dot?

You have to join the forum in order to view the enlargements, but I can see the screen grabs quite well. I do not think this is an island. And it doesn't appear to be part of the topography...it is not on the ground, or even close to it. And yes, the angle and pitch has changed by that point and it has just appeared to level out. I'm calling it a flying object until something can be offered to prove otherwise. You said that you cannot see the lighted objects in the area circled in the OP's screen grab? Did you try slowing down the video and are you playing it in high res?
I'm sorry to hear that the enlargements aren't visible without joining the Paracast. It's simple and free to join, however, and the forum offers a wide range of threads, a deep archive, and easy to use and highly readable posting mechanisms.
Re the two objects in the distant sky that the OP pointed to, I'll go and look again in slow motion. To tell the truth, I've been so fascinated by the object near earth that I've hardly yet looked at other interesting things in the video. The enlargements that Han produced for the Paracast thread have enabled me to study the changes in angle and pitch that you saw the other night. I don't know how to view the video in high res. How do I go about doing that?

No problem. I guess you meant that the various items that interest us in the video posted by the OP can also be explained as reflections
