I haven't seen many but I did see two in one night - in the same part of the sky (low in the north traveling w -> e) and traveling in the same direction, so obviously related. I had my back to the first one but saw the car light up and had time to turn around and see it for some seconds. When we saw the second one 15-30 minutes later we had time for a short conversation before it faded. That was in '85 about 20-30km west of Alice.
