| A Hynek
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'. |

(McDonald list; FOIA; FUFOR Index) Dan Wilson: Aug. 13, 1947; Twin Falls, [Salmon Dam], Idaho (BBU) Brown and Hawkins were satisfied that they had seen something and were very doubtful if the objects were planes.
