Slow-moving light moving low across sky before disappearing.

Two coworkers and I were walking to my car after our shift at work. We were walking along the lane in the parking lot that is halfway between Strander Blvd and the purple parking garage, heading south toward my car. My car was parked south and west of the purple garage and southeast of the bank. We were about level with the south end of the garage when I saw it. I was ahead of them and they were behind me, talking. I looked up and saw a light with no apparent source moving very slowly, but very close to us (maybe 15-20 feet above our heads). It was almost directly overhead at first. The light was primarily white but there was a slight tinge of red to it at the edges, and a dim flash of green toward the end. It moved southeast and appeared to go up, before it faded out and quickly disappeared. The vanishing point was about 30 feet from where it started, and about 10 feet higher. It moved diagonally up. The whole thing lasted maybe 3-4 seconds, if I had to estimate it was moving 5-10 mph. I asked my coworkers if they saw the strange light, but they hadn’t. I have never seen or experienced anything like that before, and felt very unsettled by it.
