5. Was the helicopter blurred similarly? Was there any blockiness to the image (medium sized rectangles)?

Blur is hard to quantitize particularly when there is a telephoto lens in use. If it is a wide angle, then the helicopter might start out as sharp as the face but (in the hypothesis) the face was blurred.

Did the face unblur at any time in that video? What was the source of the video? Because even if it had a network label on it, it may have passed through other hands.

I don't think we can figure out what happened, but you got my curiosity going.
