That's because the second video is from TV news and they cut the second piece of footage as they didn't consider it worth showing people another long bit of "UFO pauses, bright flash, quick ascent".
Uncut the second piece of footage shows the same -- long pause, bright flash, rapid ascent.
In fact it was caught from three angles you can see them combined here -- the footage appears consistent from each in terms of timing (one of them you don't get the bright flash -- but given video camera technology at night that's not that much of a surprise if it was brief)

I don't believe it's an "alien" myself but I'm at a loss to explain it.
