| 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'. |

Ridge: This is apparently item #3 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". Brad Sparks: June 8, 1952; Albuquerque, New Mexico. (BBU 1263)

diamond formation were observed from the ground by Mr. and Mrs.
J. D. Markland. The objects were at approximately 15,000 feet in
