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'. |

| Brad Sparks: July 30, 1952; San Antonio, Texas (BBU 1758) 10 a.m. E. E. Nye and another saw a round, white object fly slow then speed away. 20-30 mins. (Berliner) Dan Wilson: July 30, 1952; San Antonio, Texas (BBU 1758) 10:00 a.m. George and Everett Nye observed one round object giving off a bright luminous color like a glittering diamond. The object hovered directly overhead at approximately 5,000 feet and upon approach of a C-97 aircraft it made a rapid ascent to approximately 10,000 feet. The object then moved off laterally at a tremendous rate of speed many times faster that conventional aircraft. The observers also stated that the object was larger than a conventional aircraft. The object was observed for approximately 30 minutes. |
