Looks like a balloon to me as well. FYI, Mexican homemade fire balloons come in an amazing array of shapes, here is one that might resemble this OVNI:

They can also be pretty large, and so visible at some distance, and the parallax may not match what you'd expect if the assumption was that it was small and close:

Another post links the video specifically to the Michoacán region:

Michoacán holds annual summer Globos de Cantoya festivals around the region where large, unmanned hot air balloons are flown ("globos" means "balloon").

There was a large Globos festival held July 17th-19th 2026 in Paracho:

Morelia, Michoacán, June 30, 2026.- The sky of Paracho will again become a canvas of color, creativity and tradition with the celebration of the Cantoya Festival, Fiesta and Color 2026, which will be held from July 17 to 19 in the Bicentennial Sports Unit. This was reported by the Ministry of Tourism of Michoacán (Sectur), headed by Roberto Monroy García.

This meeting is one of the most emblematic of the entity and will bring together globe artisans, families and domestic and foreign tourists. In this regard, the municipal president, Salvador Martínez Gutierrez, highlighted the impact of this event for the region: "We expect 70 thousand visitors and an economic spill close to 8 million pesos."

In this edition, the festival will have the participation of delegations from Brazil and Colombia as invited countries, who will enrich the Michoacan sky with the elevation of their spectacular creations. In addition, during the three days of the event 180 monumental balloons will rise and there will be a wide exhibition of different formats, as explained by the head of the Tourism Headquarters of this Magical Town, Julio Sinuhé Olguín Morales.

That's ~10 days earlier than attributed date of July 27th, but I am skeptical of the date unless we can find the original video source. The reported July 27th date could just be the date of upload similar to how the post in OP gives the uploaded date as September 15.

@JMartJr posted some examples of globos.

Some more examples that are even more diamond shaped:
