My father drove across northern Nevada yesterday. At one point, a 747 in
USAF markings flew low across the highway coming in for a landing at an
airport (he does not remember exactly where). The 747 had a truncated
cockpit hump... and a large air scoop just behind that. Does this sound
familiar to anyone?

It wasn't the YAL-1A airborne laser, was it?

That was my thought, as well, although I couldn't recall the designation
off-hand.
