HUGE Ball of Light Falling from the Sky. Possible meteor or missile test on California coast.

Was driving south on Hwy 85 from Mountain View heading towards Cupertino. Saw a HUGE white ball of light falling from the sky over the hills of Saratoga. It had a long fat tail, and took it's time falling into the earth. hundreds of folks saw it and were calling KGO radio etc. and TV stations. I called the San Jose Mercury News, someone there told me it was a missile test by Edwards Air Force base. Could have been done at Vandenberg Air Force. There were sightsing at Monterey Bay. The only thing in the news about it, said it was a meteor. I can say that I've never seen a meteor that close and that Huge!!
