An orange glowing ("fireball' appereance) with falling burning embers followed by 2 jets.

While smoking a cigarette with a friend in front of my house, in martinez ca. on 11/07/06 @ 01:15 am, we noticed a glowing object, from the west, headed east appearing to be on fire. emmiting 2 "burning ember" looking objects released simotaniously at rear of object. No sounds what-so-ever; Until the jets arrived. 2 to be exact, about 3 minutes after the passing of the fireball. Appeared to us to be "chasing" the object. As it neared the moon, the object disappeared and the jets then split off in seperate directions. We would like to know what this was. Thanx.
