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'. |

| Lara Elliott:
September 17, 1947; Rix Ledges north of Lebanon,
New Hampshire
On this date, an unknown individual reportedly
observed a flying saucer. This occurred as he/she was
half way up Rix Ledges. The individual claims to have
seen the flying saucer while watching the honey bees.
The witness describes the saucer to be "as large as a
tennis ball" and "as white as cotton batting".
The object approached rapidly and noiselessly from the
East and was followed by another object closely. The
second object appeared in the size and shape of a
saucer and maintained a constant angle of inclination
to the ball and followed it at a constant distance.
The two objects made an angle of about 5 degrees to
the individuals eye. The objects were in their sight
for more than a minute until vision was lost in the
glare of the sun. (FBI document)
