Gary,
While nothing is impossible, Ruby-throated Hummingbirds are not known to
migrate at night, nor to be active in the evening or dark. There are some
pretty big hawk moths out there at that hour, some may even appear bigger
than a hummer.

===============================================
Every day, the hummingbird eats its own weight in food.
You may wonder how it weighs the food. It doesn't.
It just eats another hummingbird.
