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'. |

a.m. Two witnesses in the railyard, a train conductor
Hildebrand and the yardmaster Werner [?], saw a
formation of 8 white luminescent rotating spherical
objects, like wheels revolving around hubs,
approaching from the N high above horizon, 45°
elevation, headed S, just before reaching overhead
they made a controlled dive and a sharp 90° right turn
to the W, with the topmost object leading the others,
fading from view while still high above horizon.
