Oblong object not moving early morning.

Walking home about 1:30 from a late show in the summer of 1946 0r 1947. At the S/W corner of "D" & First streets, and to the right of the old Tamalpais market, saw what appeared to be an oblong object. it caught my attention because it was approx. 600 to 1000 feet high, not moving and had no sound.It had one or two lights that i could see ( i can not recall the light color ). the lights were not blinking.
I watched it for a minute or so and looked away down the street for less than a minute, looked back and it was gone.I have mentioned it a few times over the years.Happened to come across this site and thought it might be of interest.
