Invisible object caught in photo with orbs

Was looking upward toward the southeast at what I believed to be insects swarming in the atmosphere. They really caught my eye in the sunlight so I stepped back to let the edge of the roof block the sun while I observed. The insects appeared to be randomly flying around and then collecting into a group and moving eastward. They seemed to ‘poof’ out in a ball with a small strand of insects linking ball after ball. I remarked at the behavior to my spouse. He has vision issues so I normally take photos of low contrast things for him to get a better view.

After 5 shots increasing the zoom, I showed the photos and was surprised to see the oblong feature. It was not visible to the naked eye. It was large enough that my spouse could have seen that. I did note a contrail to the west as I looked around the sky, unusual for this area.
