Two bright flashes lighting up the entire sky and a single light streaking down.

I was sitting on my back porch with my girlfriend drinking coffee and talking, when two bright flashes lit up the sky, almost like lightning.  I was expecting to hear thunder, and at the same time my mind was trying to figure out how there could be lightning when there was no sign of rain, when I saw a small white light move from behind the clouds in the southeastern sky and move at a high rate of speed down out of view.
The flashes pulsed quickly one after the other and the light was visible for only another second after that.  I grabbed my laptop and started to do internet searches to see if perhaps anyone else had seen it when I found this website.
To clarify, my house is almost directly underneath the landing path for airplanes landing at Honolulu International Airport, and there were absolutely no aircraft of any kind in the sky for at least an hour before this incident, nor have there been any aircraft in the time it has taken me to get my laptop and make this post.
