SM-65F Atlas: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SM-65F_Atlas
[EDIT: Launch Date: 9/19/1962, Air Force Missile Tail Number: 531]
It's unclear if the UFO is the second object seen behind the rocket between [1:00-3:10] (althought that looks like part of the rocket),

Or is it this thing that appears at [1:30] and pulses until it gradually leaves the frame [around 2:25]?
