Edit- my initial review of the videos shows that they are more of the same - thermal videos from Reaper type UAS that show small...
I think flare is still probably the best guess. But it's not a perfect match (see video I posted of flares with military IR). Whatever it is it is VERY VERY hot/bright. Like the sun but smaller in size. And if the trail represents the movement of...

And if the 14:06:17 at the bottom is the time of recording within the video, and the 5 is elevation angle and 115 is the bearing, then the hot point cannot be the sun. It does look like a different UI element style though, so could be the time on...
