Very strange thing caught on camera at 1AM
So I removed the IR filter from my license plate camera, and I also removed the IR lights. I live out in the middle of no-where, and while I was time lapsing the Arora borealis, something strange appeared. At around 1am, when there is no more visible light on the horizon or anywhere, I started to see some strange dots. LOTS of strange glowing round things. They would appear for 20-30 seconds and float across just a small area, and then they would disappear. I wouldn't have noticed them if I were out looking at the sky in real time, but what's even stranger is that I can't see these things with my eyes -- only with the IR filter-less camera. On top of that, between 1 an 2 am, the area where these things appear shifts from left to right gradually and it has happened two nights in a row.
Some say it's a light and bugs, but in the direction I'm facing, I'm miles from electricity or lights and since I own acres of land, it's no one's light on my property. Some say comets, but.. the video clip I got has them moving across the sky for a long period of time. Some say it's satellites, but you'd think that this would track with the stars if it was that high. Some say it's glowing bugs, but... glowing for 20-30 seconds? That's a strange lightning bug. Keep in mind that the time stamp is in the bottom of this video:

This video is a sped-up version of what I saw. You can clearly make out planes and stars... but what are these things that appear for 20-30 seconds and then vanish, only in a specific part of the sky? Anyway, if you know someone that may know what this thing is, please share it with them. It's blowing my mind... and let me know what you think in the comments below. I'll be checking and replying
