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'. |

9:15 p.m. Witness saw a flight of luminous objects, at least
10, pass over Albuquerque. "Whatever they were, they made a
“flying saucers” believer out of me. They resembled nothing I has seen
before. Their flight was soundless and graceful. At first they appeared
overhead.They were clustered together in no apparent pattern, heading
north.Then they shifted to a perfect V. the shift was done with
precision. The formation resembled a flight of geese. Within a few
seconds they formed a new pattern two rows with the objects in
front spaced at exact intervals. The “saucers” in the second row were
spaced evenly between those in the first row."
