Well, I have never played Eve Online, but seeing as how nobody else has

I'd guess those are ships either warping in or out of the area.

Keep in mind that the ships in Eve Online have vastly different sizes, 
as illustrated by this image:

(warning, 5250x10800 pixels)

Most everything I could see the video I looked at were the larger ships, 
which are probably not very maneuverable.  There could well have been a 
swarm of more agile ships darting around in there that were too tiny to 
really see well.  Or maybe in a battle this size small ships are less 
helpful, I dunno.
