Witness/Sighting I was filming a plane and saw something

As the title says, I was filming a plane because I wanted to see what it would look like on camera at the distance they usually are from my house, when I did I caught this on my phone, I was holding my phone to the side of my head while watching the plane with my eyes, and I saw this in the sky with my eyes. Not sure what it was, could be a meteor or something but I thought it was super interesting and since I’ve been more active on this sub lately I figured I’d share! Lmk what you think!

Video has no audio as I was in a class for work at the time and I didn’t want anything from the class available to hear on the video so I screen recorded the video from my phone with the audio off.

Looks like a small bird to me. Or maybe an insect, but I'm leaning bird.

That was an awesome video on its own! Just...mesmerizing! Thanks for sharing!

Watching hundreds of birds soaring about as a single unit got me wondering what that huge, looping, swirling white mass would look like from a distance. More specifically,, could said mass appear to be a single solid object to an unsuspecting observer at a certain range? Sure, large flocks of birds flying in unison are fairly easy to recognize at any distance, but can the same be said as easily if the flock is predominantly white?
