You can’t post images in replies, so here’s my reply.
As you can see on the right side, the bright “object” that can be seen in the video posted with the title above splits into parts as it moves. Here you can see it split into three parts (the left most is dim), but on many other frames you can see it in two.
I won’t claim to be an expert on optics, but the fact that it appears as a different number of objects as the camera moves (it’s panning slowly upward to keep the aircraft in-frame) suggests to me this is a reflection inside the optics of the camera.
I suppose it could be a physical object and this is a side-effect of the camera’s processing, but I don’t recall having seen that before, not sure how it might do that, and really can’t understand how that would result in it being projected forward – the left-most dot in this image is in “front” of the apparent motion.
