From cammer:

Just happened to me. Am I even the idiot, the light jumps from green to red (no yellow) when I was 10ft away from the crossing?

On mobile, and it's really hard to tell, but it looks to me like the sunlight was behind you and hitting the signal in such a way as to cause glare on the green bulbs while washing out the light from the red ones. It seemed to change quickly because your angle changed and the light was no longer reflecting the same way.
