It is impossible for me to tell what was seen; but a white dot in the sky flying slower than a plane can be many ordinary things: bird, balloon, Chinese lantern, helicopter...
It seems that the only strangeness here is that the witness does not see the white dot anymore on his video the second time that he looks at it; but for lack of checking one may suggest for example that he took several clips and did not look at the same one the second time.
Let's not that the sighting cannot be of the "Nocturnal Light" type, as this is said to happen at a daytime hour.
Unidentified, no strangeness, totally insufficient information.
