Non alien explanation; the green drone is a consumer model flown by a civilian, it approaches the red drone and intentionally flies into it, collides and falls. The red drone is a large military style drone and doesn't flinch from the hit.
Option 2, the green drone is super high up for a consumer model and ran out of battery chasing the red drone and fell out of the sky
Option 3, red is a military drone taking out the green drone by gps spoofing it or another jamming method causing it to fall
Or
Someone flew their drone to investigate the red orb and their drone was blasted out of the sky by the red drone. Or like the guy in the news report in NJ, green drone got to close and it's battery was zapped and it fell out of the sky
Edit,
after some additional comments I have a new theory. The video might be sped up. The green anti collision light on DJI drones blinks once per second. This video it blinks about twice a second. The camera movements are also quite fast.
Someone suggested it might be a "staged video". Eg. Friend flies the drone up, camera operator and pilot line up the shot so the drone appears to approach the red drone. Then once the drones are lined up, they rapidly descend the green drone so it appears to fall out of the sky while overlaying voice over. Just a guess though, could just be a drone that blinks faster than DJI does.
