Yeah if it had like a turbine engine it should have been pretty obvious on the thermal camera unless it had some kind of countermeasure. The pilots seemed to think it had very low thermal emissions, but I do wonder if they were also just having a really hard time getting it within the sight of their thermal camera. I would personally tend to guess operator error (unable to keep the camera pointed at it due to its fast motion) over it having very low thermal emissions, because hiding the exhaust from something like a small jet engine is not at all easy.
