You look out of focus on the main target (possibly a star);  the object moving past is similarly out of focus so an accurate ident would be difficult. You will get a lot of speculation covering anything from Chinese lantern to a different form of Chinese lantern or the reflection from the light of your phone camera. Pressing the camera lens to the eyepiece can be a bit hit and mis - you really need to hold it steady at the sweet spot. You may want to see if you can get a hold of a mobile phone/eyepiece cradle that will position the camera properly. 

Persevere though because you can get really good images using a mobile phone. Try practicing on the crescent moon to experiment with focus and exposure settings. Good luck .
