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'. |

Biologist reported "flotilla" of rocket-like UFOs.
[UFOE, VI]
Dan Wilson: July 27, 1952; Ann Arbor, Michigan
10:40 a.m local. Dr. Charles H. Otis. observed a
"flotilla" of rocket-like objects high in the sky to
the east moving to the south. There were approximately
15 objects which appeared to be elongated with a split
rear and absence of wings. No sound was heard from the
objects. In the "bow" end of each "ship" was a
relatively large and exceedingly bright glow. A bird
glass (magnification near 5X) was obtained and then
on, with the glass, he studied the objects until they
disappeared at the horizon. Before they reached
the horizon, one "ship" left the flotilla and,
describing what seemed to be a wide arc disappeared
with a burst of speed that seemed incredible.
