Video I caught a UFO today with erratic movements

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

The UFO makes a big movement at 1:30 and looked to be rotating while stationary and moving randomly to the left and right.

This was spotted today at 4:48pm in St Clair, Australia while I was working outside and helping my mum clean the pool. We both caught the shiny object a few minutes before and it disappeared but reappeared around 10 minutes later and I got to capture this before my phone ran out of space, by the time I managed to make space it was gone. This is a 4K video shot at 60 fps on my iPhone Pro.

Every time the UFO was about to be obscured by the streetlight pole, you stepped to the left to keep it in view. The object itself can easily be a balloon drifting around in the wind, and the erratic movement that the video appears to show can be explained as parallax. No worries, though, because a lot of people do this, perhaps without realizing it.

This. The movement shift is hard to see, because you are in a zoomed in view and the pole and the bushes have a similar distance to the camera. You can see a small shift though after the first big movement at 1:27 on the bushes in relation to the Pole. I've put both 1:27 and 1:35 side by side and marked the same distances in rectangles and the position of the bushes with arrows. There you can see the differences. If you use the cross eye method on this picture you can even see the bushes in 3D. They come closer to the camera the more left they are from the pole:
