While walking my dog on our farm I noticed unusual bright objects in the night sky.

First I noticed a strange shaped, lit object brighter than any of the stars in the clear night sky. There were no clouds and the stars were not as bright as they are on some nights. While looking at Orion's
3 stars in the belt, one of the objects was twinkling And looked like a stick with a light on top, with 2 or more lights down below the stick shaped object- like a tripod with 2 legs. It was way below orion, in almost the same direction as the belt in said constellation. It looked like possibly red or blue or white colored lights. This didn't appear to move, but twinkled.
The 2nd more dimmer object was to the left of Orion. It was to the right & lower than the moon and appeared higher up in the sky because it looked smaller and less bright as the first one that I noticed. I did see 1 or 2 airplanes in the sky around my house but they were further away, and tiny compared to these other 2 bright objects.
Finally while looking around by the 1st object, fairly closer to me, and not so far above the treeline, I saw the brightest and biggest of that same shape moving. It was moving slowly in a straight line above the tree lines, to the right of Orion, and much farther below that plus the 2 other ones . Travelling from left to right at a slow but straight pace. This definitely looked like this same tripod shape stick with 3 or 4 lights. The lights did not blink but stayed on while it was moving in a Westerly direction. But then I saw that a plane was coming towards it, but was still far away & tinier than this object, Both were flying in the same direction when this bright tripod shaped object turned off its lights. I didn't see any clouds in the sky for this object to get hidden. And I imagined it To be located over on the next block from my house.
I stayed outside for a little while, but the bigger, lowest and brightest object did not reappear after this. It looked like the other 2 objects we're still in their same locations as when first noticed by me.
After this I came in the house to look up 'how to report unusual sightings' and telephoned this number
*82-1-206-722-3000 at 11;46pm. I stated exactly what I saw to a man who answered the phone. He believed I was seeing the star sirius . And asked if I took any pictures, which I did not.
After doing all this, I got dressed again to take my cellphone back outside in 28 degrees. The first object was still visible but looked lower. The very bright one that was closer to the ground was not spotted anywhere or oin any direction. And it might have looked that the dimmer object was either farther up in the sky and not as visible like before. I stayed outside for another 20 minutes searching the sky in all directions, However this time I did take some pictures of that first one I did notice, which was still able to be seen with the naked eye. I don't think it was the star sirius. Because I researched some charts and photos online when I came inside.
All three objects looked like a pole or distinctive stick with a bright light on the very top of it. Then below the stick there were more lights ,possibly 2 to 3 lights of a different color . I checked the box below that the item changed color. It just went off, or went blank and disappeared in a split second.
Sorry but I don't know how to upload my photos.
