Video shows a stationary light with irregular flashing. After 19 seconds the light accelerates and flies off to the right.

The initial movement is disguised by the flashing light, but if it's stabilized and contrast-enhanced then you can see it's a fairly normal rapid but smooth start, typical of a drone.

By default, drone lights are not super bright white, but there's plenty of cheap lights that can be added, such as the Lume Cube:

Some people interpret this as a larger craft in the clouds, which would mean rather high speed."Sighting lasted one minute. I was located in Northern Pinellas County looking southwest at 8:10pm. Object would be in and out of the clouds. 7 to 10 thousand feet. Traveled several air miles. No noise of any kind from the craft. The colors were not truly represented. The red was a varying deep ruby red. The green was deep. The colors were deeper and richer than any led. We all knew that we saw something never seen before." - Rich Winslow
