A unusually bright light appeared and was stationary in the sky. It became 2 distinct lights, then turned black, and faded out

While walking just before sunrise, we noticed an extremely bright silvery white light to the north-northwest. Initially I assumed that an aircraft was turning and reflecting the rays of the sun as it made the turn. However, we stood still and watched it, and realized it was stationary and changing brightness from extremely bright to nearly fading to invisibility then back to extremely bright over a period of 10 to 20 seconds. It then peaked in brilliance, then became two distinct lights for about 20 seconds, then faded out and returned as a single point of bright light for another 10 seconds and then abruptly faded until becoming a clear and sharply defined black circle (sphere assumed). The then black object remained in place and then seemed to evaporate to invisibility over about 3 seconds. We continued watching the sky after the object disappeared and there was a single bright flash seen a few seconds after the black object disappeared.
