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. |

9:35 p.m. EST. At least six airmen including
control tower operators observed a round object with
a white light over Eglin AFB for approximately 5
minutes. At one point the object was seen at an
estimated 700 feet altitude going straight up and
then back down. The object appeared to circle the
hanger at an estimated 2000 feet and at this time a
red and white light were seen.
