star-like ball of light travelling in a b-line in a NE direction from Lake Erie direction against the wind

I was facing towards lake erie smoking a cigarette on break and noticed an odd light and decided to film it. It did not change direction but continued on a b-line in a northeast direction. At approx the 3min mark of the video it can be seen crossing paths near an identifiable airplane as well. There was a slight pulse observed as it got closer but then disappeared behind the clouds. This object moved against the wind and it was fairly windy on this night.

I am an avid sky watcher and an airplane nerd, I know what this isn't but no idea what it is.. could be swamp gas.

The video is too large to upload on here so I'll include this link as well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l-CW2LaWfvc

Also this was reported to mufon as case# 125656
