It was fantastic to see, but at the angle and speed it was heading toward the earth, still completely intact I am at a loss as to why I didn't hear it crash.

Remarks
The round object was a bright metal glow at the front that looked to be the size of a plane, the trail was a bright white streak and it looked to be headed towards a crash in west sonoma co. towards the airport. I kept waiting to hear the crash as it flew out of sight.
