A bright red and white glowing fireball in the sky.

It was already pretty dark outside when I left my house to go walk my dog. As I walked down my street, and turned the corner of my block I noticed a mostly red and white glowing object in the sky moving away from me. I am near the San Francisco airport, so I am used to the planes flying overhead all the time, but this was not a plane, I was sure if it. It glowed, but did not flash, and had no other colors present like the aircrafts I see with the red, white, and blue lights which are always present. I stopped in my tracks, and just focused on the object which was slowly moving away from me. I tried to see if this was a plane, but seen no wings, or flashes, just the bright glow of the red and white light which looked like a mini fireball in the sky. About a minute and a half passed as it moved farther and farther away from me, then all of a sudden like a switch, the light turned off. I can still see the object moving, but no visual light was seen. Just a spot! at this point till it got so far away I could no longer see it anymore.
