This is exactly what I was thinking. It just looks like a small object suspended.

Why?
First of all, you don't always need to tear something apart in video analyst software to determine if something is real or not. The human eye and brain are very good at doing this without any aid at all. I look at that video and right away my brain is telling me I'm not looking at a craft in the sky, it's a toy or a model either suspended or flying under it's own power; although I lean towards suspended.
You can tell it's a small object very near to the camera. When the OP goes to zoom, it does it like a cheap camera phone does, in clunky segments. I counted it pause and continue zooming two or three times, so I'm going to make an educated guess and say the camera has 3x zoom. Now if it was a craft up in the sky, it wouldn't get that much larger being magnified only a few times. Judging by the size increase of the object, it would appear to be a very small object, very close to the camera, as in, between the camera and the fence.
Because the OP has decided to stand under the roof in the shade, the camera can't focus on the object, so it appears black even though the sun is not behind the object, hiding any identifiable details.

Huh?
Judging by the other objects, and the amount they are magnified, I'd say it looked perfectly normal. The third zoom takes it past all objects on the house and ground. What are you talking about?

If it was up in the sky and you zoomed in say 2, 3, 4, 5x, whatever, the object would barely grow larger because of the distance. Yet we see the near object in the yard, as well as the object above, grow at basically the same rate and it becomes significantly larger. That would tell you the object is very near, and very small.

Im going to go with the classic dangle from a string method. The lighting is off for it to be far away.

But your opinion doesn't tell us anything about this footage
It's just as unhelpful as someone saying:
"I saw a UFO just like this ... I know this is real!!"
I agree that there is some footage that appears here on ATS that doesn't warrant analysis but I think, in this case, it definitely does.
There is no way, from looking at this footage, that you can determine if this is a fake or not.
So why don't we get it properly analysed??
Because, you know what, we can here on ATS ... ain't that cool!?
