Flaming rock seen in sky over Oklahoma
I am a retired Police officer. My wife and I were traveling West on route 44 in Oklahoma.We had just passed a Military air station minutes before when I noticied a vapor trail coming from the south. It appeared to be traveling at a very high rate of speed. I mentioned to my wife to look and see if she could see the jet plane thinking it was from the base. As the object crossed in front of our windshield I detected that it was not a plane but it was producing a flame with a large vapor trail. As it crossed to the right side of the winshield we could make out with the naked eye that there were approx 2 or 3 smaller objects directly behind it. All were producing flames. As it moved off to our right somewhat we could detect what appeared to be a large rock, you could see the surface of the rock looking object and it was about the size of a large beach ball. The smaller objects were about 8 to 10 inches wide, we could not see any form only the flames and smoke trail from the smaller object. The object continued traversing the sky from south to north till we lost it in the distance.All objects had colors of green and orange and white in the fire ball. While returning from Arizona we stopped at the Alien Museum in Roswell NM. I pointed out to my wife a picture they have on the wall of an asteroid streaking in. It was identicle to what we saw. At the time of the incident I radioed what we had saw on the CB radio but got no response.
((NUFORC Note: May have been re-entering space debris, but that is a guess. PD))
