translucent, silvery boomerang shape, totally silent, with short, feathering discharge from the back edge

Am am a professor of sociology at San Francisco State University. I was walking my dog on the top of one of the bare hills in the city. It was a totally clear day. When I looked up in the sky there was a translucent silver boomerang shaped object overhead, discharing a regular undulating wave of something (not a contrail)which never chanaged in length. The discharge was along the entire back edge. It was totally silent. It appeared to be about as long (edge to edge) as a jetliner. I have no way of estimating how far away it was, but it was an absolutely clear day, and the object was clearly visible but earily silent. I continued to watch it move for about 3-4 minutes. Then the dog wandered away, and by the time I found her,(maybe three or four minutes) the object was no longer visible, despite the fact that there was considerable visibility from where I was watching.
