Seriously Take 2mins out to watch the WHOLE video.
I make it at least 4 other flashes exactly the same as this in the whole video.
I put this down to out of focus flies or birds in the area.
This filmed at 60fps.
The explosion clearly comes from the stage 2 fuel line!!! Look at the lens Glair on the first frame of the explosion and draw two lines to triangulate the source of the explosion....

Not that I'm a professional in video analysis but I swear I can make out the flapping of wings in video posted in the OP. It may seem to quick but I'm guessing that because the bird is in front of the rocket closer to the camera. I'm going with a bird/blird/blug etc
Cape Canaveral, Florida, September 01st, 2016, @ 0907 HRS. (EDT)—The Space X second stage missile caught fire and exploded, just as a very peculiar object, captured on video, is seen to move through the launch area. At this writing, not much is known about the fast-moving object, but it appears to be very peculiar, and highly anomalous. It was first called to our attention yesterday, Thursday, September 01st, by a professional driver in Florida, who was carefully reviewing a CNN video in slow motion, and noticed the object streaking across the screen. We provide below one of the still freeze-frame images he forwarded to our Center. In addition, we provide below some preliminary analysis, provided to us by Mr. Gene Weed, who has reported that the object in the version of the video footage he has witnessed appears to be a solid, dimensional object. His comments and illustrations appear below: ((BEGIN COPIED COMMENTS AND ILLUSTRATIONS FROM MR. GENE WEED)) Peter, SpaceX film, see link: www.youtube.com...

SpaceX is known to use hexacopter drones and others to film their launches and landings. A good possibility it's a drone circling and filming the launch.

^I think we hit reply a few seconds apart^
Except it wasn't a launch. It was a system test. The launch was scheduled for the following day.

The explosion was so close to the feeding line that it was probably a static electricity spark te cause of the explosion, or, better saying, the cause was some defect in the feeding nozzle
The object passing by could be one of the drones they use to shoot the launches, but it seams to pass very fast what is unusual I think.

Same here
PHOTO ANALYSIS: Solid rounded rectangular object, with dark energy bands under the object. Study it carefully, and you can see it is a solid object above the dark bands. notes It is noteworthy to mention, that the object was observed flying away to the right after the explosion, in later frames. The publisher missed it. I have witnessed these and photographed them in Yuma, AZ in the 60-'s Identical.
