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'. |

Dan Wilson:
Sept. 24, 1952; Aurora, Colorado (BBU) 3:15 p.m. local. USAF T/Sgt. Billy Ross Hughes
saw 5-6 bright white circular objects high in the
sky moving in a circle about five or six times as
great as their diameter. A short time later one of
the objects dipped down in altitude and its
diameter appeared to be approximately four times
as great as the higher objects. The lower object
swerved to the the WSW and disappeared. While
watching the lower object the other objects had
disappeared. The total length of the observation
was 5-6 minutes.
Fran Ridge: The AIIR says the incident occurred on Sept. 24th. We had it listed as the 29th on the chrono, but that has been corrected. reports/520924aurora_report.htm (Dan Wilson) |
