According to the San Francisco Chronicle, it was part of the annual Taurids meteor showers which peak between November 5-12.

Bing Quock with San Francisco's Morrison Planetarium told KCBS radio that based on witnesses' descriptions, the object was likely between the size of a baseball or soccer ball and may have disintegrated before it hit the earth.
