bright oval object in Yosemite

I was sitting with some friends eating about 10 minutes away from the entrance to Yosemite (from Hwy 49) when I looked up into the dark sky and saw this oval shaped object moving across the sky from my right to left into the park. I didn't look like a plane (no flashing warning lights) and there was no sound. It was eluminated in a white glow (not to bright) but very clear. It keept moving towards the park and all of a sudden it disapeared (it was like turning off a light).

Eariler in the day we were up at Glacier Point and before leaving we saw many people (15-20) with telescopes that were planning to stay late into the night. I'm sure someone else saw this object.
