Black flying cylinder object at eye level to me on airplane.

As I was flying home from Myrtle Beach, capturing videos of the city for my social media, I was startled by a sudden movement outside the plane. A black object darted past at eye level, moving with remarkable speed. Although I couldn't discern its shape in real-time, I managed to capture it on video. Upon reviewing the footage, I found myself baffled by the unidentified flying object, as its swift motion and enigmatic appearance left me questioning what I had witnessed in the skies above.
