I'll add that I had the impression that the star-shaped one resembles a distant missile but could even be something even less interesting than a missile, given that at a few points later in the video, a parachute is visible and the heat source appears to be attached to it, suggesting that it could be a parachute flare.

That's very obviously not a parachute?

The "star shaped" object moves relative to it akin to a reflection actually.

The interesting question here is, whether that is "white hot" or "black hot" imagery. The trail the object leaves is white. If it was a flare, that would mean white is hot. Then the object would be cold.

You cannot have a "camera artefact" from a cold spot in the sky.
