Circular object in No. CA streaking towards Mt. Diablo State Park area

My wife and I had just returned from a local trip when we noticed something moving in the Eastern sky. We immediately saw a bright circular object moving at a high rate of speed from the sky towards the ground (best guess is that the object was 2-3 miles away, headed towards the Mt. Diablo State Park area at a 45 degree angle). Object appeared as a very bright green circle of light surrounding a relatively dim red light, made no sound, and disappeared after only five seconds.
