Full Description & Details

After working the 4pm - midnight shift and meeting with my replacement, I left work approx. 12:30 am. As I drove into the rural night, I came to a railroad tracks that is not serviced by crossing barriers so I moved cautiously onto the tracks. As I looked down the tracks right and left into the darkness, I saw in my peripheral vision out the back window of my pickup, a an object moving over my head. I immediatly looked up out the front window and saw a HUGE object moving slowly and silently to the north. I rolled down my window when I saw the object and it was totally silent, I shut the motor off and still could not hear a thing as the object very slowly moved toward the north. As it moved toward the north it's speed became greater and it moved silently out of sight at a greater speed. The height of the object was about 1000 ft., and was easy to observe. There were no other vehicles in the area, and no dwellings for a half mile or so. The area where I sat on the tracks is total darkness and uninhabited.

Can sighting be explained as any conventional man-made or natural object?
