The US Army conducted a hypersonic missile test in Florida on 12 Dec - most likely what is being witnessed here. There is no evidence of any "drone" or "ufo" rising from the water in this footage, as the green light appears to be from a laser pointer or similar light source. https://www.defense.gov/News/Releases/Release/Article/3999835/army-and-navy-successfully-test-conventional-hypersonic-missile/

Tweet embedding is no longer reliably available, due to the platform's instability (in terms of both technology and policy). If the Tweet still exists, you can view it here: https://twitter.com/foo_bar/status/1867410441154048046

Please note, though, that you may need to have your own Twitter account to access that page. I am currently exploring options for archiving Tweet data in a post-API context.
