Initial data
I wonder if other readers can help solve this little mystery discovered over Carrickfergus.
This may sound a little silly, but I saw a light come out of the corner of my eye from my bedroom window at about 8:15 p.m. on Friday, February 24. Then I took my sister's camera and she took a picture (photo not published) of the object before it disappeared.
It moved a little, and I know for a fact that it wasn't a star, because it was too bright. It wasn't a satellite or an airplane, because it didn't move like them. It was a very subtle movement.
When viewing a photo (which was taken completely at a reduced scale) my sister zoomed in on the object, and it had a triangular shape.

Summary: I am wondering if any other readers can help solve this little mystery spotted above Carrickfergus. It may sound a bit silly but I saw a light out of the corner of my eye appear from my bedroom window at about 8.15pm on Friday February 24. I then got my sister’s camera and she took a picture of the object before it disapeared, it moved slightly for a bit and I know for a fact it wasnt a star because it was far too bright. It wasn’t a satelite or plane because it was not moving like either of them. It was a very subtle movement. When inspecting the photo (which was taken completely zoomed out) my sister zoomed in on the object and it was a triangular shape.

Hypotheses
The heavenly bodies
The brightest heavenly bodies in the sky are Venus, Jupiter, and sometimes Mars and, of course, the Moon.
Venus is the bright yellow of the evening or morning star, shining in the sky on the background of evening or dawn. Maximum brightness of Venus can reach up to 4.3 m, and she is the third brightness of the sun in earth's sky after the sun and the moon. It so well reflects the light of the Sun that it is relatively easy to see and day, especially if you know the location. It manifests itself in the form of tiny blinking white dots.
Objects and light sources out of focus
When the objects are out of focus, their silhouettes blurred and poorly recognizable. They can look like dark or colored translucent stain. This is often the cobwebs, spiders, insects in front of the camera.
