I manually stabilized and zoomed on the footage to the best of my ability.
It resembles a kite to me, so I included footage of a kite to compare to.
Perhaps it's not a kite, but it's certainly not a solid object.
You may wonder who would fly a kite in wildfire smoke, and I would guess it would be an opportunist who wants to see what a kite does in 70MPH winds.
The wind was traveling up to 70MPH going from right to left relative to the camera perspective, and it was so strong that it created a cone of smoke drifting up and down, creating a horizontal cone of smoke. This indicates to me that a kite wouldn't have to be that high to be in the smoke, if it really was in the smoke at all. It could just appear that way due to the camera losing focus intermittently. It appears to be big, but I think that's mostly due to how far zoomed in the camera got, and I don't think it gets much bigger than the tops of the palm trees.
