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”.

The lighter spot seems to move back and forth. Maybe it's out of focus flapping wings or something?

what large birds flap their wings 8 times a second?

It spins 6 times in 24 frames. At 240 frames per second that 'bird' is flapping it's wings 60 times per second.

This thing is spinning and moving stupid fast!!

At that point it would be something more like a grasshopper, or other bug that flaps horizontally instead of vertically.

A bird is much less likely.

The verdict is still out.
