Appearance / Description of Object(s)

What I could see was mostly a bright light. It seemed to be a fluorescent-type light to me. It was small. I am guessing it was round in some way. I don't know what it would look like without the light. It was very bright, but not difficult to look at.

Size of Object(s)

one inch across. it may have been the size of a helicopter. I am not exactly sure. I could not tell how far it was. It seemed small, but it was flying in front of and behind the clouds.

Description of Area / Surroundings

It was an area that was rural turning into urban. It was at the south end of Austin, TX. Somewhere between Oltorf and 1327.

Full Description & Details

I was in the 6th grade. My grandfather was driving me to my swimming class at St. Edward's. We were going north on I-35. I was looking straight ahead, but something caught my attention in the sky. I was sitting in the front seat so I had the full windshield to look through. I saw a light moving. It darted above the clouds and I couldn't see it. I stared at the sky and it came back under the clouds. It moved to one side like a hummingbird. Then again in the other direction. I remember thinking the light was interesting. I had the feeling that the light was not letting off heat but it was very bright. Although it was so bright, it was not difficult to look at. I kept my eyes in the sky for a very long time watching it move around like a humming bird, dash above the clouds and come back. It finally went out of my sight for good. I kept looking in the sky, hoping to see it again. Finally I asked my grandfather if he had seen it. He said "see what?" And I yelled, "you didn't see that thing in the sky?!" He said, "I saw it." And I asked, "What what is?!" He said, "A figment of our imaginations." I yelled, "both of our imaginations?!" He didn't say anything else. I never saw it or anything like it again. I still don't know what it was.

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

It was definitely not a star or planet or moon or comet or bird or cloud or airplane or blimp or weather balloon or satellite. If it were man-made, the it was a secret to the world. It was definitely moving like it was being controlled. It clearly came beneath the clouds, then went back above it. It moved too fast and agile to be any man-made aircraft that was or is public knowledge.

Witness Background

I am a graduate student studying mathematics.

Views on UFOs, before and after sighting

I didn't really know much about them. I wondered about them sometimes, but was skeptical because of the lack of evidence. Now I am more curious. I would like to know what I saw that day.
