Fast moving green flashing light came to a complete halt

We are in Tenerife on holiday and last night at about 18.50 we saw a very very large fast moving green flashing light, moving from the south west of the island. At first we thought it was the space station. It then came to a complete halt over the top of mount Teide, it's stopped still there for about 2 seconds before shooting back the same direction and stopped over the top of Playa de las Americas for about 5 seconds. It all happened so fast that by the time I got my phone out all I managed to get was a very distant photo. It made no sound.
