The thread might be a bit big now. You would have read that I zoomed in after the filming inside a program in thread. Original footage is zoomed out.

Sure here is the spot where it was filmed.
Ljungskile, 45931 LJUNGSKILE
I think this is the direction I filmed in, I'm not positive, kind of hard to see from above. The starting direction is correct however.
a map of the place:

A dark object in front of another dark object is very hard to see, that's the whole basis behind camouflage, using the same (or similar) colours to look like what's behind/around.

And even if the pole was dark, one would think it would show up in inverted or some other filter since it is infront of the flag somewhere.

The same happens with the emboss filter, it only looks at differences in brightness to try to find edges, but if the differences are too subtle it will show nothing.

That's why you cannot see what I think it's an insect in front of the trees (and not behind the mountain), because they have the same brightness.

[The camera that was used, which exact model/make has been used as the zoom and distance of "net" needs to be considered.
There is no need for the colour to be that similar to the background for it not to be seen, there are several things affecting that.

It would have to be really well camoflauged then. I can see your point though.
You have to admit, the color of pole would have to blend in very well for it not to show up at all.
I would bet there is no pole personally, just seems to unlikely it would blend in so well and that the color would be black.
Yes, sorry for not specifying it.
Insect infront of trees?
Are you are referring to the other ufo clip?
No, the object is not black, in one of the frames where it shows it appears as almost 49% grey, far from the 0% that represents black.
If you are, the object is totally black. The trees are not that black. You should therefore have seen it infront of trees if it would have gone there I believe.
1 - The video does not look altered.
2 - The audio does not sound suspicious, but as I do not speak Swedish I don't know what is said.
3 - There is no way of distinguishing what's in front, the flag pole or the object, the brightness of both objects is too similar.
4 - The luminosity is consistent white the whole scene, stronger from the left side (west) and weaker on the right (east) side, there is no noticeable "glow".
5 - There is no noticeable movement of the object or the trees to help understand what's in front of what.
6 - The object does not show a smooth surface, it looks like it shows two ridges and corresponding lower areas between those ridges, just like an umbrella.
7 - The bird passes between the camera and the object, showing that the object was not that close to the camera.
8 - If the object is close to the house (like an umbrella would be), and considering that the zoom makes things look closer than they are, the object is something like 2 metres in diameter, consistent with an umbrella.

Now if you do not mind I would like to post a few personal thoughts that have nothing to do with the video analysis.
So what we seem to have is a video that either is a hoax or is not... I want to give the OP the benefit of the doubt and say that it was just a case of mistaking what the object actually was.... But I guess I will never know for sure.

I'm from sweden don't understand this line.
