White light over Los Angeles flew away at impossible speed

I was brushing my teeth, the lights were out for privacy, the bathroom has a southern view. The windows were half open and pushed out like shutters, perpendicular to the building, so I could see reflections in the window panes. I was facing the mirror, East, when I noticed a light out of the corner of my right eye. My mind computed that I was seeing the moon reflected in the window, so I turned to check out the moon. Instead I saw two lights in the distance, one heading West, the other heading East. It took my mind a couple of seconds to understand what I was seeing. I remember clearly thinking that I was seeing an airplane heading West on its descent to LAX, and also seeing it's reflection in the window, because they were heading right for each other. But a second later I realized I wasn't, that I was watching two real, separate lights heading towards each other, one from the West, the other from the East. My heart immediately started racing as it dawned on me that I might be witnessing an in air collision. But after a few tense seconds the lights passed each other and I was relieved. Until the light heading East stopped, held its position for a second, and flew away arcing due South. It was completely gone in under two seconds.
