We were on the 18th hole of the Stonebrae Country Club Golf Course. I was watching my husband from the cart path. It was some where in time between 7:45 and 8:00 PM (dusk). The sky was clear. No fog no stars. There was a very large sunset that just went down maybe 10 minutes before. I looked out slightly to the south west and saw this white streak in the sky. Very very bright white. From my view I saw a long white streak with a round ball on the bottom that flashed quickly and then disappeared. When I shouted to my husband it was already gone. No noise, no smoke just a bright flash and then it disappeared.
