Classification of Distant Encounter is usually
an incident involving an object more than 500
feet from the witness. At night it is
classified as a "nocturnal light" (NL) and
during the day as a "daylight disc" (DD). The
size of the object or the viewing conditions
may render the object in greater detail but
yet not qualify the sighting as a Close
Encounter which is an object within
500'. |

8:20 p.m. The primary witness and his wife pulled out
of their driveway to go out to dinner. As the couple
drove W down their street, they saw 3 bright lights in
a row in the sky. They assumed that the lights were
Chinese lanterns since they were all at or above the
same elevation. As they drew closer to the lights they
realized that the lights formed a single object. As
the object turned the lights were in a pyramid shape
(this would indicate a rotating of the object to cause
the three horizontal lights to move into a pyramid).
At the same that the object turned, it bolted away at
an incredible speed and disappeared in a few seconds.
