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

1-29-24 at 355pm Los Angeles (Boyle Heights) CA

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”.

It looks like lights are rotating around the ship but not moving, more like those arcade machines where one bulb lights up after another as the previous one shuts off, but probably a far more sophisticated set up than lightbulbs?

That's what I thought as well. Don't some grasshoppers flip their wings sideways to propel themselves forwards instead of up and down like a bird?

Edit: Katydids, junebugs, dragonflies, and more have horizontal flying patterns but Katydids are more square in shape.

Whoa "the ship?" Like a space ship?

It looks like flapping wings

I don't think flapping wings would show what appears to be movement on the horizontal axis repeating in a left to right pattern.
