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'. |

Sparks: Jan. 28, 1953. Corona, Calif. (BBU 2364) 6:05 p.m. USAF T/Sgt. George Beyer saw five 25 ft green spheres fly in V-formation, then change to trail formation at which time the end objects turned red. (Berliner) Dan Wilson: This case ground/visual was evaluated as UNIDENTIFIED by Project Blue Book and may tie into the pilot sighting and jet chase at El Toro Marine Air Base and Long Beach a few hours later. |
