Large white object moving at high speed over southern California.

My fiance' and I were on the phone. He was in El Cajon/San Diego and I was in Indio. This is 163 miles apart. He mentioned seeing a satellite crossing the bottom of the big dipper, so I stepped outside to take a look. This bright light was very high up-far above any possible planes (which we could see underneath). It was maintaining a course, so it seemed like it could be a satellite but it was moving very quickly and then it zig zagged a bit. The trajectory was from the Northwest to the Southeast. As it lowered to the southeastern horizon, I noticed a bright light shoot upward from the UFO, it zig zagged again and then faded.
