Seen an orb of flashing light moving within the treetops

My dad saw, whatever it was, first while he was walking by himself in a wooded area between my neighborhood and one close to mine where there is a pronounced dirt trail/track around an overgrown man-made pond. From his words, "I was walkin' around the pond a few minutes ago, and I seen this ball of light in the air flashing like it was taking pictures! I sat there and watched it turn around the end of the pond and keep going without making a sound. I ran to see where it went, and it was gone!"
At the time of telling me this, I had just gotten home from a friend's house to find him in the truck with it cranked and ready to go. He was telling me that he was about to go get me so we could ride around to the other neighborhood, which was in the direction that he last saw it moving. As we got to the end of main road in the adjacent neighborhood, we both saw it. I immediately pulled my phone's camera up and out of the window of the passenger truck door and began recording. In the video, you can see a bright ball of light flashing that seems to move away from the camera, further into the treeline on the other side of the opening it was originally in. After thinking about all possible ways to debunk what we saw, I came to thinking I may have been up a little to long and was mistaking the blinking light of a cell tower that is normally seen right above the treeline in a couple directions at night. Even after rewatching the video, I convinced myself that the ball of light was motionless and it was just my shakiness moving it on-screen. The strange part about that being the reason would be that the cell tower has a red blinking light, and if that were the case, there would be no possible way I could the camera far enough to move the light behind the trees. I was sitting still in the passenger seat of a truck, stopped at the end of a road. Thinking back, I could also very vividly, with the naked eye, see the tops of the trees around the orb light up with every flash as it moved further into the trees. The picture shows the location and view as a reference. It was accidentally taken with the flash as I was in a rush to get the camera out to film a video.
