Not sure why you don't believe that certain areas are frozen and devoid of life in the winter.
We don't have other bugs, or smaller bugs, than moths.
Which narrows it down to bugs in the house, which we don't have (besides a rare sighting of a moth, which would probably show up as recognizable in the video).

I was recording my cat, and ironically, I started recording him because he was acting like he was watching ghosts; i.e. he was staring up at empty space, and meowing at it.
Actually I think more towards a very small bug with the cats reaction,
if it was a dust particle I doubt your cat would pay attention, meaning it would be very unlikely to perform movement that catch your cats attention and keep it on it like a small bug flying around would.
but a small bug that you cannot see but your cat certainly can and would make your cat keep an eye on it, cats being predators and all even though they are domesticated they still have those instincts and eye sight that would be super human if you could see it from a distance.
chances are if this flew past your face slow enough and caught the right light you would see it as almost transparent orb for a split second as well like the lens has.
For more context, I'm in the upper northeast of the US, it's the dead middle of winter, and it's been below-freezing for most of the last few months.
This is really the last place and time that there'd be bugs flying around... I'm just saying, lol. Bugs can't live in our winters, the landscape is frozen solid, covered in snow and ice.
So outside, it's an absolute wasteland, and there's zero chance of a bug flying in from nature. There are no bugs flying around. No flies, no fruitflies, moths, gnats, mosquitos: Nothing. Heck we don't even have birds most of the time, in winter.
So IF it was a bug, it would have to be something that's been trapped inside the house for the past few months, lol, and I'm telling you we don't have bugs flying around our house lol.
The absolute ONLY bug I've seen in the house, the last few months, is an occasional moth. No tiny bugs like gnats, fruitflies, etc.
I don't know if people know how absolutely lifeless the northeast becomes, during winter. There's literally no life outside.

Here's a moth that can survive extreme low temperatures outside:

Mostly found in Greenland but maybe one hitched a ride on, I don't know - a fishing boat, maybe, to your location?

You sure about that? What about all these critters:
NE US Winter Wildlife
If you guys want me to, and / or if u guys keep insisting it's dust or a moth, then I'll post when I can, in a few days, to show what a moth looks like, lol, and dust specks too, in the identical conditions of the video.

I have no further interest in entering into a sterile and forensic debate with you

I had a cat pass away a few months ago, and his spirit has been happily, lovingly visiting a few times. Three times his spirit showed up in dreams... and twice, in waking life, he was seen and heard, both times, and my animals even responded to it, both times.

Oh yeah? So what makes you special? I lost my Son of 18 years, the only thing that meant anything to me to a terrible reason. Why havent I seen him since? Why cant I have at least a little peace in my life knowing he's still okay? Yeah, I dont believe you, and I dont believe your little "story".
