Original Note:
The video shows an out-of-focus point of light, such as a star. It's a camera effect. The spinning effect is a result of atmospheric distortion, the same thing that makes a star appear to twinkle. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EYdvjNoJXCg https://www.skyatnightmagazine.com/space-science/why-do-stars-twinkle Source video: https://abc7ny.com/15652850/ 2:40 mark
