A person named sleepy_joe2024 posted a video on Reddit, featuring a disc shaped object erratically moving across the sky.

I made a few screencaps

The object is translucent, donut shaped. This is a key signature of out of focus point sources. The thermal camera used was focussed on the clouds making the foreground out of focus.
A bug fits the bill here very nicely. The erratic behaviour also adds positively to this insect identification in my view.
Also the notion "these things are not visible/much harder to spot under night vision. Can’t be seen by the naked eye" shows to be correct, a bug is not self-luminous..
