Very bright, steady light in night sky that would engage in a series of bursts then become steady again.

Tonight walking along the water outside my Condo property looking toward the Northwest, I noticed a very bright “star” that caught my attention because I live in a light polluted area where stars are not usually visible.
 This “star” was steady, too bright, and remained in the same location in the sky.
As I was wondering about it, the “star” started a series of “bursts.”  From a steady, very bright illumination, its bursts were clearly visible but not as bright. It then would return to being a steady, very bright light until the next series of bursts.
I got out my camera to take a picture but kept missing the bursts so I switched to video.
 In the video you can see the bursts.  Although I tried to keep the camera steady, the movement in the video is the camera, not the “star,” which remained steady.  The only movement I could discern were the bursts.
