the FLIR was slaved to follow the object and with only the rate of change of the angle to the jet available, since the radar was either not picking it up (could drone stealth coating) or being actively jammed (tech available for decades), we cannot confirm or refute any claims about involved heights, speeds and acceleration.
the shape of the object being a blob could very well just be a thermal sensory issue, one can assume a modern stealth drone has the coating and shape to counter modern FLIR to a degree, or who knows maybe the angle of sunlight reflection was just unlucky.
the sudden jolt at the end of the FLIR video can just as well be the FLIR computer losing the track, or the seeker head reaching the end of its available angle.
