... I'm not making this up, it looked like a man in a bubble
soaring overhead, in a craft that was made up of four similar sized (~3m dia)
spheres. Only the sphere with the man inside was clear, the other were a dull
dark gray. The occupant was clearly seen and the craft soared closer and into
astounding clarity before the video cut off. ...

Crash test dummy perhaps?

Could be a prototype system intended for supersonic ejections.
Reminds me of the recent Mars Landers.
