I hope you know I was kidding. Thanks for this posting your analysis. Interesting!
how can you determine the air turbulence?

After it passes, the surrounding air is disturbed to the point of making the Moon appear to oscillate.
If the airliner was close enough to fill the screen, you would see it's turbulence too.
So I've concluded the object has to be 5 to 10 miles away or it has to be huge.
Discount birds altogether, too small to see.

Orion StarShoot Solar System Imaging Camera II
You can get the specs on Orions web site.
Look at the text in the other clip on this titled, "Revised Circular Object" for the settings.
