Single craft that changed color and direction before disappearing into space.

At approx. 12:52 am on the morning of January 5th 2009 I saw what I at first believed to be Jupiter in the sky directly above the Los Angeles area. After quickly going to get my binoculars I realized that the object was moving. My next thought was this was possibly a comet or possibly a meteor (at this point I believe the object had a faint tail). I ran inside to call my Father, still not realising what I was seeing. It was then that I realized the object was changing in color (originally a orange-red) from a blue to a white (white being the smallest the object appeared and orange-red the largest the object appeared). Almost immediately after I noticed the object changing color it quickly changed direction from an approximately eastern course to an approximately western course. The object then changed direction and color a few more times before at exctly 12:59am changing direction one final time towards the stars until the object getting smaller and smaller disappeared.
