| Distant Encounters may seem
less interesting at first, but many times they augment the value of
other incidents. Technically speaking, though, these are cases
where the object is farther than 500' and where depth perception
doesn't increase the value with large objects. Some of best UFO
encounters are considered distant only by definition. |

Ridge: This is apparently case #2 of Major Dewey Fournet's "motions study" UFOs cases as presented to the Robertson Panel in January of 1953, whereby he deduced that UFOs were guided by intelligence and the flight characteristics indicated that the intelligence was beyond "us". It is alsocase #15, on the official clearance list. of 41 formerly classified Air Technical Intelligence UFO reports cleared for Maj. Donald E. Keyhoe by Albert M. Chop, Air Force Press Desk. Brad Sparks: May 13, 1952; Greenville, So. Carolina (BBU)

luminous objects nearly overhead and disappeared after 3 secs motion
through 12° arc [or at 12° elevation?]. Apparent size of half
