Walking around Greenlake on paved trail. Saw bright white light on a 3deg downward path across lake from south to north. Approx 1500ft AGL.
Walking around greenlake at the south end by the golf course I noticed a bright light in the sky about 1500-2000ft AGL as it came from behind the trees at the south end of the lake. Brightness was about twice that of jupiter. The sky was clear. I thought it was a meteor, but there was no trail and it moved about half the speed of the hundreds of meteors I have seen, but much too fast to be an airplane and made NO SOUND. The object emmited two bright flashes from the bottom portion and continued roughly 3/4 of the way across the lake on a very slight downward path, where it blinked out at about 1300 ft AGL. Total time observed was about 4 seconds. Unfortunately, my girlfriend was looking the other way. No aircraft were seen in the area for several minutes before and after the event.
