After a couple of hours or so with Blender I was able to make a very crude simulation to see how the shadows would behave.
Assuming Blender is right (which I'm sure it is), my idea was wrong, the direction of the shadows doesn't change with the position of the object being closer to the equator or the poles.
Parallel light rays from a distant source (defined as infinity in Blender) project parallel shadows, as seen below.
So that part of my theory about the video was wrong, the direction of the shadows in the video appears to be correct.
I have to laugh at anyone that categorically takes a firm position
I just think it sad that a video such as this is cast aside so easily by some.

Big. Really, really big. For velocity, see here:

Yes, they are moving way too fast to be in orbit without breaking the orbital laws of physics.

Its the speed that is throwing me off, the shear amount of ground they are covering in seconds is astonishing, and the size of the craft would have to be miles in length right??
I dunno the more I watch it , the more it seems fake.

I guesstimated the size as a large fraction of the length of Manhattan which is 13 miles long, maybe 10 miles long for each UFO, though they could be as long as Manhattan on the high end of my estimate. Here's a satellite view of Manhattan:
So that satellite image of Manhattan is my visual image of roughly how big the UFOs would be.
In principle the speed calculation shouldn't be too hard for the UFOs that fly over the 125 km diameter crater. We know the crater is 125 km from outer rim to outer rim approximately.

Agreed and the speed requires several layers of math that I am unfortunately unqualified for.
But it covers a distance that is 1000's of miles in seconds , so I mean wouldn't that put the speed in the Hundreds of thousands MPH. Again I'm flat out guessing.

If that's fake, there was a lot of thought put into it.
The shadows of the "craft" on the surface even follows the terrain peaks and valleys, how the "craft" disappears into the moon's shadow.
Hmmm........
