I wish i had stopped and taken a picture of the trail. It was pretty awesome and kept asking outloud if anyone else was seeing it.
There is a local facebook page that I will ask if someone else saw it.

Remarks
I was driving. All of a sudden i saw this bright light quickly enter my field of vision on my right hand side.
It was really fast. It left a trail that i could see really bright because the sun was setting. It was toward the west side.
I saw that something continued to travel to the ground ahead of the trail.
It looked as whatever came down landed on the hills of Vacaville or farther west.
