Caribou, ME

It was July 17 2022. My friend and I went out for a walk at 1:31am. I like taking pictures of the sky and stars I get my phone out to take a picture of the sky I seen three arrows like objects glowing and moving in the sky. Two out of the three were blue the other was green These objects, then shifted from being arrows as well as their position in the sky. To the number 7 and align themselves in the sky. I have pictures of a clear sky a minute before I then have a picture of the arrow like objects and sevens. The building I am standing on in my photos that I have uploaded is down the street from the police department.
