I was driving back to Denver with my family from Dallas and we stopped in the Oklahoma panhandle to fill up the tank. I looked up and saw what looked like a gigantic locomotive in flames slowly cruising across the sky. I completely wigged out and called my Wife to see.

Turns out it was a Russian craft re-entering the atmosphere.

I also saw a neon blue meteor during the '98 Leonid shower.

I would bet money (if I ever gambled, which I don't) that whatever I saw was a UFO, unless the military has some interesting stuff that no one knows about. Silent? Circular? Rotating? Hovers?

Right around that time I woke up out of a sound sleep, totally wide awake, felt compelled to jump out of bed and look out the window. I saw out in the old barn (no electricity) a man standing in the door of the barn, with very bright light issuing from the barn. Unusual looking man, blond, dressed in white. I looked for a short time, then the light went dark.

Never told family, no clue who/what he was. We lived waaay out in the country, dirt road, no neighbors.

I remember that. We were out that evening, in Ada OK, and saw it. It was huge and throwing off sparks. It looked like it was going down right north of town, but actually went down in MN or MI, IIRC.

I've seen a few things before, a couple I've recounted on http://www.nuforc.org   We live here in the north GA mountains and we see a lot of military aircraft, quite often very low. Once in a while, usually at night, we'll see one that doesn't appear to be "published".
