Capture an object during taking photos of the moon and Jupiter. The object I didn't see it with naked eye.

While I was taking pictures of Jupiter and the moon from my home balcony on my cellphone, once I finish to took the first picture, I take a look to the photo to see how was well define. On the photo I noticed that there were an sphere that look like a star at first. Im an amateur astronomer and quickly as I noticed the "star" I knew that thing was not part of the night sky and conjunction of Jupiter and the moon. Took a look to the sky with naked eye a didn't see any object. Then took 4 pictures consecutive and the object in fact appears on photos but a naked eye not. The first photo was taking at 22:59min 10 seg (local time) and the second one 23:00 min 4 seg.
