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:
Aug. 29, 1952; Colorado Springs, Colo. (BBU 2013)
8:35 p.m. Military [? USAF?] pilot C. A. Magruder
saw three objects, 50 ft in diameter, 10 ft high,
aluminum with red yellow exhaust, fly in trail
about 1,500 mph. 4-5 mins. (Berliner)
Fran Ridge:
Very interesting case but the Blue Book documents
are barely readable. Maybe we can find them in the
other files such as fold 3. This is an official Blue
Book UNKNOWN and is shown on the sighting listing as
"Unidentified" and worth pursuing.
