Light over Salado/Jarrell, TX

A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.

The report, as filed

On Thursday night, January 29th, 2015, shortly after dark, maybe 7-8PM, my daughter was on her way home from Waco, towards Austin, on I-35. Somewhere near Salado, she observed 2 blue lights traveling southbound near her. They appeared to resemble aircraft landing lights, but were a deep blue (not the blueish tint of some LED lights, blue like emergency lights). One was solid and one was blinking slowly. They appeared to be on the same craft. She observed it until about Jarrell (roughly 8 miles/5 minutes), and lost sight of it, as it continued south. No aerial maneuvers, just a steady flight. The coloring was the strange part. Also, there was a "low ceiling" so no stars were visible. It was flying below the ceiling of clouds, maybe 2000-3000 feet? I know of no aircraft that uses blue lights such as this. No other colors were seen, no strobes, just the 2 blue lights.

Ask for the records

What would the paper say?

For a dated, located U.S. sighting, FAA radar data and ATC communications are the records most likely to exist. Through Aletheca, the house instrument, anyone can commission the request — filed, chased, and published in the open, refusals included. The draft goes over already written: the records sought, and the date window they would live in.
