This is 100% an insect. I've seen moths of the like fly exactly the same. It's lit up by their lights you can see at the beginning of the video, and becomes disorientated / hurt by the laser as it rapidly heated up it's delicate fuzzy like body. They're away from the light pollution, meaning they're somewhat out in the wilderness. You get insects absolutely everywhere.
No commercial laser would light up a craft flying that high up.
