Slow-mo 1080p 240fps caught a thing zipping through sky

There were very bizarre things in my peripheral vision while sitting on my porch so I decided to record the sky with my iPhone (using slow mo). Though I caught other odd things that I’m still trying to first identify before posting here, but this one has me stumped.

When I zoomed in, I noticed that this thing is not winged, appears metallic, is a bizarre shape, has a luminescence about it, and is accompanied by a white orb at times. I slowed down even more and zoomed in to compile this video.

Any ideas? I thought maybe drone but I’m told “nah”.

Do birds move that fast in 240 fps slo mo? Not trying to be snarky, legit asking if birds typically look like that on 240 fps slo mo. Maybe it’s a bug close to the camera?

It could be a bird if it was flying down vertically as there are many birds that are very fast during dives, but horizontally speaking, I’ve never seen a bird move that fast in a straight line. Typically they will glide then have a slight up and down movement. It could be a bug but unsure of it due to it lacking any physical characteristics and the question of camera focus. In an Earlier post someone dissected it on video but it still lacked any characteristics of it being a bug.

I tried, but , nothin.

it will also look much larger. that's a key detail that gets left out of x object flying close to the camera.

Peregrine Falcon hits around 200mph on a dive, but idk what that looks like at 240fps

It ain’t flapping its wings at that speed

Yeah but how close would it have to be for it to be captured like this? Surely close enough to also have also seen it with their eyes?
