Ocean County Sheriff drone footage

Someone posted this video on reddit, which I think gives us some idea of what they count as "sightings" when they say they saw 40+ drones coming from the ocean.

Be warned the video is pretty bad because it's someone recording the screen and they don't really do a good job at it. If a better video is out there (A news crew was filming it from a closer distance), I haven't been able to see it.

This is the submission statement
External Quote:

One Ocean County sheriff is flying his own drone at the beach. Unfortunately, he doesn't fly close to the other drones, but you can clearly see they are over the ocean.

He mentioned it's his only drone and that they don't have many police officers available to investigate. However, he believes the drones are coming from the ocean and wants to figure out exactly where they're originating from.

This weekend, he plans to film more. I'll see if I can get the footage.
And OP replying to a comment
I didnt' see shit on that screen dude :S
Yeah, you can only see lights, unfortunately. He doesn't approach them, and I don't know why.
There was a news crew that interviewed him, and he said they believe the drones come from the ocean, and he wants to find their origin.
At least you can see that some officer is trying to do something, but it's not enough.

Maybe someone familiar with Ocean County can locate where this was filmed (there's a map and we have the angle) but I don't know if we have the time it was recorded (maybe someone can ask on the reddit post, apparently the person that took the video is the OP's friend).

The thing with blinking lights at the start of the video is just the Sheriff's drone if I'm not mistaken, I assume the big bright light is just the moon, but I am somewhat surprised on how it just disappears when viewed on IR (though that could just be that it's not visible in the video of the screen).

After that I'm really not sure what they are seeing as drones, at about 1:00 minute mark there's the slow-moving white dots, which could be planes (if someone gets the time, this could be verified). At about 3:30 in, they see a small group of UFOs, which to me just look like birds (but the sheriff says they could be Starlink satellites)

What I'm not sure about is how the color grading scale works. Because if the colors are accurate, then most of these white/greyish objects would be at less than -12 (I assume Fahrenheit) which seems a bit cold, but I also assume given how small these objects appear, they don't have a large enough impact to change the grading even if they are hotter than they look.
 
they say they saw 40+ drones coming from the ocean.
Just FYI, UFO believers are already interpreting this as reports of "trans-medium objects" literally coming OUT OF the ocean, as opposed to what is more apparently intended, lights coming from the direction of the ocean. Any number of aircraft might be coming from the direction of the ocean or just visible out over it, and of course the ocean being to the East of NJ means that any astronomical objects that rise as the night progresses will come from there, too.

In the video we can see the moon and jupiter, which - due to their relative position - confirms this as the 13 December. If we calculate the bearing to them we could work out an accurate time.

So it looks like around 85 degrees, which makes the time approx 6.15pm:

I stumbled across this video on Twitter. This seems to be in an area very close to where the Ocean County cops put up their drone.
It was inevitable that it would go recursive at some point -- I'm frankly a bit surprised it took this long.
 
If the one with red lights is the police's drone filming the distant lights over the ocean, has there been hypotheses for the white light moving around? Haven't read all the threads.
 
The white object looks like another drone, a small one judging from the rapid movement. But it might just be a bird.
