The object appeared to have 3 lights at one point and then seemed to change to one light.

Just one object that seemed to stay in one position for a long period of time. The object appeared to have three lights that then changed into one light. The colour of the lights were white. The oblect appeared to be very far away so I had trouble trying to zoom in with my camera phone and keep my hand steady at the same time. I did see commercial aircraft in the area at the same time. The object did seem to disappear after 15 mins, but I did see some could cover in the area.
If I was honest when I did see an object in the same area again (around 20 mins later) and I could see that it looked like a star, but the object I was watching didn't look anything like a star?
I hope I haven't wasted anyones time, this just seemed very odd in the night sky.
The photo looks rubbish if I was honest, but it's the best I got, but maybe just a planet and some coulds playing tricks with my eyes?
