I think it would require some pretty serious computer modelling from multiple simultaneous perspectives of HD video with foreground objects in common to be able to 3-d map the 'flotilla'
Have watched that footage hundreds of times at least, it really fascinated me. What grabbed me initially was the complexity of it, how complicated faking the footage would have been, because of how the dots move together. There are internal geometries and multiple levels of force at work in the rotation, and hot damn if the overall impression resembles nothing so much as a tesseract in motion.

The footage is stunning, though, and the magnitude of the phenomenon makes my skin crawl on a sunny day.
