Classification of Close Encounter is usually
an incident involving an object less than 500
feet from the witness. The size of the
object, viewing conditions, or
stereoscopic vision (depth perception)
may render the object in greater detail and
still qualify the sighting as a Close
Encounter even though the object may have been
beyond 500'. The incident depicted in
the logo was encountered during an intense
storm near Princeton, IN, Aug. 1973. |

Sparks:
March 2, 1955; Huntley, Illinois (BBU)
5:00 p.m. Car was followed by 3 elongated
"balloons," each showing 8 red lights and about 20
ft long. (Vallée Magonia 362)
Dan Wilson: March 2, 1955; Huntley, Illinois (BBU)
Detailed reports and
documents5:00 p.m. local. Car followed by three objects, two of which flew parallel to the car at 5 feet above the terrain for 10 minutes. Described as black and elongated and about 20' long, with eight red lights and white lights on each end. The third object was a white light at 500'. Object on the right shot out a red lighted cross for five minutes. Project Record card says, "by daylight the object was gone". Fran Ridge: The AF Commander in his report says "reporting witness was mentally normal and completely rational." I was confused by the time period and the mention of the object being gone by daylight. Martin Shough: It is confusing but I think that when it says
he "stopped at the all-night gas station" it means
he was on a long journey (he'd been driving
already for 6 hours) and stopped there for the
night. Either they had rooms or he slept in the
car. He didn't see the lights disappear, maybe
because they were still there when he went to
sleep. When he woke up in the morning there was
nothing there any more.
