If you look closely, the FOV of the video shifts a bit during the "apparition" then resumes once it has past.

1) As the camera is capturing the Sun and it was New Moon, the camera captured a partial solar eclipse.
2) The scope is focused for infinity? If it is focused for the sun, would it not be focused for the moon? (and everything else at 'infinity') A good example is the images by people that have captured planes and the ISS crossing the Sun's disc, everything is in sharp focus in those images.
3) Can't say I noticed the nudge.. I'm not saying it didn't happen.. just that I didn't notice.
Seems the video cannot be viewed now?
I don't know for a fact that it IS the Moon, It just seems the most plausible explaination to me.
