I think it's a rod artifact.

A good analysis explains how the operating frequency of video cameras combined with the beating of insect wings produces "flying rods" quite reliably. I am ignorant of the details, so you'll have to google a bit.

(My opinion is that aliens are close and watching the earth, but rods are nothing special.)

Could it be a meteor? It moves fast, could be bright enough to create lens flare?

I dunno... there's an awful lot of shiny brass there to catch a reflection. In stepping through the YouTube video, there's only a few frames that show the full screen with instruments and object without a pause and/or change of camera perspective. I'd love to see the raw footage. Here's the couple frames where the object appears with the tuba on screen. Not enough to be definitive, maybe the dv will expose more.
