Looks like a bird or insect and because of the closeness ther'es a focus artifact making it look like it's behind hte tower. And I"m not surprised of the shading making it appear tobe spherical. Same probelm.

After looking at all the evidence provided, I have come to the conclusion that this is nothing but an orb shaped, super fast moving bug bird.
What we are witnessing here ladies and gentlemen is the debut of a new and truly unique species never filmed before. You should congratulate yourselves on your keen, highly developed sense of skepticism and give each other a pat on the back for bringing this strange but fantastic sight to human kind.
The tears well in my eyes as I write this as never before has something so swift, majestic and jaw dropping as the orb shaped, super fast moving bug bird been seen by so many.

I'm think more likely a "blug" than a "blurd" that flew very close to the camera.
I'm basing that on the size and speed. A small (say insect-sized) object near the camera would look to be about the size of the object on the screen, and could appear to be moving that fast because of its proximity to the camera lens.
For a bird to appear to be moving that fast, it would also need to be near the camera, but then it would look larger than the object we see.

I say that because the object (which as you say is just a blurry blob, and could be anything) is brighter on top than it is on the bottom -- and remains brighter on the top even when the rocket blows up.
You'd think that if the object was near the rocket when it blew up, the flash from the explosion would light up the underside of the object. But that doesn't happen; instead the top side of the object remains the more brightly lit side.
