A Hynek
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: Dec. 14, 1952; Charlottesville, Virginia (BBU)
11:45 a.m. (EST). Aeronautical engineer, former
test pilot, saw a light orange elliptical shaped
object, hovering then move NE at extreme speed, 1,000+
mph estimated. Object gave off discharge that
changed brightness when object moved; debris lofted in
the air apparently by the object. (Hynek-CUFOS
